On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file opinions in two criminal cases argued on the late-May calendar that raise similar issues.
In People v. Blackburn, the issue is whether the trial court prejudicially erred by failing to advise defendant of his right to jury trial and obtain a personal waiver of that right. People v. Tran raises the question, did the trial court prejudicially err by failing to advise defendant of his right to jury trial and obtain a personal waiver of that right, and does the Court of Appeal have authority to declare a rule of procedure for the trial courts?
Both opinions can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
