People v. Casas (Cal. Ct. App. - May 25, 2010)

By Shaun Martin

ADVERTISEMENTS

Nothing new from the California Court of Appeal today, and two tiny orders is all we have from the Ninth Circuit. So let's just take a brief diversion to an opinion from last month to remind ourselves what a wonderful thing drugs are:

He was convicted of embezzlement (Pen. Code,1 壯 503, 508) following a jury trial and sentenced to state prison."

Selling used cars and a drug addiction. An awesome combination.
