On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file opinions in two cases argued on the March calendar.
In People v. Cross, the court will decide whether the trial court erred in failing to advise defendant in accordance with In re Yurko (1974) 10 Cal.3d 857 before accepting a defense stipulation that he had a prior conviction for an offense that exposed him to an increased sentence under Penal Code section 273.5, subdivision (e)(1)?
The court will answer these questions in In re R. V.: (1) Which party bears the burden of proof in a juvenile competency proceeding? (2) What is the proper standard of review on appeal of a trial court’s finding that the juvenile is competent?
The opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
