By Jonathan Soglin
ADVERTISEMENTS
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the State of California to file a response to the certiorari petition filed by the defendant in Nguyen v. Cal., no. 09-604. Nguyen presents the question of whether a prior juvenile adjudication obtained in a proceeding in which there was no right to a jury trial can be used as a "strike" to increase the punishment on a subsequent conviction under California's Three Strikes Law. The California Supreme Court's decision is here. Full post as published by Criminal Appeal on January 09, 2010 (boomark / email).
