The Supreme Court will file three opinions tomorrow morning.
People v. DeBose is an automatic appeal from a July 1999 judgment of death.
People v. Trinh is an automatic appeal from an April 2003 judgment of death.
People v. Goldsmith concerns red-light cameras. The issues are: (1) What testimony, if any, regarding the accuracy and reliability of the automated traffic enforcement system (ATES) is required as a prerequisite to admission of the ATES-generated evidence? (2) Is the ATES evidence hearsay and, if so, do any exceptions apply?
All three cases were argued in April. After tomorrow, six of the dozen April-calendar cases will still be awaiting decision.
The opinions can be viewed online tomorrow beginning at 10:00 a.m.
