Existing law requires the board to recommend to the Legislature that an appropriation be made and the claim paid if a court has made a finding that the person is factually innocent or if the person proves to the board that they are factually innocent. Under existing law, the person is considered factually innocent if the crime with which they were charged was either not committed at all, or if committed, was not committed by that person. This bill would instead establish factual innocence for these purposes if the claimant establishes by a preponderance of the evidence, either before the court or the board, that a reasonable jury would not find the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence currently available before the court or board. In reaching the board’s determination of the merits of the claim, the bill would allow the board to deem the claimant’s denial of the commission of the crime, reversal of judgment of conviction, the claimant’s acquittal on retrial, or the decision of the prosecuting authority not to retry the claimant for the crime as sufficient to warrant the board’s recommendation that the claimant be indemnified, and would specify that the claimant is not required to provide substantial independent corroborating evidence that the claimant is innocent in addition to those facts. The bill would prohibit the Attorney General from relying solely on the trial record of a conviction that has been reversed or dismissed to establish that the claimant is not entitled to compensation, and would require any new evidence presented by either party at the hearing to comply with the rules of evidence. | https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB446 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This bill would require bail to be set at $0 for all offenses except, among others, serious or violent felonies, violations of specified protective orders, battery against a spouse, sex offenses, and driving under the influence. The bill would require the Judicial Council to prepare, adopt, and annually revise a bail schedule for the exempt offenses. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact further changes to current law to ensure that a defendant is not detained pending trial simply due to an inability to pay for the amount of bail in the statewide schedule. The bill would prohibit costs relating to conditions of release on bail from being imposed on persons released on bail or on their own recognizance. The bill would require the sheriff, police, and court employees above to approve and accept bail in the amount fixed by the bail schedule. This bill would require the court to order a return of money or property paid to a bail bond licensee by or on behalf of the arrestee to obtain bail if the action or proceeding against the arrestee who has been admitted to bail is dismissed, no charges are filed against the arrestee within 60 days of arrest, or the arrestee has made all court appearances during the pendency of the action or proceeding against the arrestee, as specified. The bill would authorize the bail bond licensee to retain surcharge not to exceed 5% of the amount paid by the arrestee or on behalf of the arrestee.

Ordered to the Assembly." | Punishment | SB-300 | Crimes: murder: punishment. | Senator Cortese | (Co-authors: Senator Wiener, Senator Kamlager, Senator Bradford) | Sentencing Reform Act of 2021 Reforms felony murder special circumstance law This bill would repeal the aforementioned provision requiring punishment by death or imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole for a person convicted of murder in the first degree who is not the actual killer, but acted with reckless indifference for human life as a major participant in certain specified violent felonies. SB-300 does 2 things: 1) SB 300 reforms California’s felony murder special circumstances law to ensure that the death penalty and life without possibility of parole will not be imposed on people who did not intend or cause a death during the commission of a felony. 2) SB 300 restores discretion to judges to impose a sentence of 25 years-to-life if they determine that an opportunity to earn parole would best serve the interest of justice in a case where a special circumstance has been charged. | https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB300 | Initiate Justice Priority Bill to Support | Ella Baker Center | #StopSanQuentinOutbreakCoalition Decarceration Bill List | Supported by CURB, Drop LWOP Coalition | Y | |||||||||||||||||
