California Appeals

The decisions of the Courts of Appeal are binding on the Superior Courts of California, and both the Courts of Appeal and the Superior Courts are bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court of California. Notably, all published California appellate decisions are binding on all trial courts[2] (distinct from the practice in the federal courts and in other state court systems in which trial courts are bound only by the appellate decisions from the particular circuit in which it sits, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States or the state supreme court).[3] Court of Appeal decisions are not binding between divisions or even between panels of the same division.[4]

It is customary in federal courts and other state courts to indicate in case citations the particular circuit or district of an intermediate appellate court that issued the decision cited. But because the decisions of all six California appellate districts are equally binding upon all trial courts, district numbers are traditionally omitted in California citation style unless an actual interdistrict conflict is at issue.

All California appellate courts are required by the California Constitution to decide criminal cases in writing with reasons stated (meaning that even in criminal appeals where the defendant's own lawyer has tacitly conceded that the appeal has no merit,[5] the appellate decision must summarize the facts and law of the case and review possible issues independently before concluding that the appeal is without merit).[6] Such procedure is not mandated for civil cases, but for certain types of civil cases where a liberty interest is implicated, the Courts of Appeal may, but are not required to, follow a similar procedure.[7][8] Most Court of Appeal opinions are not published and have no precedential value;[9] the opinions that are published are included in the California Appellate Reports.

Due to their huge caseloads and volume of output, the Courts of Appeal in turn see the largest number of decisions appealed to the state supreme court and the Supreme Court of the United States. A few famous U.S. Supreme Court cases, such as Burnham v. Superior Court of California, came to the high court on writ of certiorari to one of the Courts of Appeal after the state supreme court had denied review. Many Court of Appeal opinions have become nationally prominent in their own right, such as the 1959 opinion that carved out the first judge-made exception to the at-will employment doctrine, the 1980 opinion that authorized a cause of action for wrongful life, and the 1984 opinion that created the right to Cumis counsel.

Appeal Now

File An Appeal Now

Anyone who is convicted of a state or federal crime in California, whether as a result of a jury trial, a bench trial, or by pleading guilty is entitled to appeal his or her conviction or the criminal sentence received. An appeal is the request by a convicted person for a higher court to review the case in an effort to get the conviction reversed or the sentence reduced.
After the trial court has issued the final judgment, an appeal can be filed. There are very strict deadlines and requirements for filing a criminal appeal in the state and federal appellate systems, so individuals considering an appeal should consult with a criminal law attorney as soon as possible.
To learn more about filing an appeal, click here.
California Appellate Courts
The appellate court in California consists of a panel of three judges who review a written brief (argument) presented by both the defense and prosecution. Generally, the criminal defense attorney attempts to persuade the appellate court that an error or some other factor in the original trial prejudiced the outcome of the case. If the appellate court agrees with the defense, it can overturn a conviction, change the sentence, or order a new trial.
 Appellate law is a complex, specialized area of law. James M. Crawford has many years of experience as an appellate lawyer and has helped numerous individuals obtain a just and satisfactory outcome after a wrongful or unfair conviction.
 Specialized Area of Criminal Law
As an appellate attorney, Mr. Crawford can handle the following aspects of your appeal:
    · Posting an appellate bond
    · Preparing and filing necessary writs and motions
    · Pursuance of further relief on remand
    · Post-verdict motions
Mr. Crawford will review everything that has happened in your criminal case, including the pre-trial phase, your trial, and all post-conviction issues, including motions and evidence.
 His goal is to identify any new factors that may persuade the appellate court that your conviction or sentence is erroneous, such as:
    · Insufficient evidence
    · Unallowable evidence
    · Incorrect rulings on objections
    · Errors made by the judge imposing the sentence after a verdict
    · Jury errors
 Some appeals cite insufficient representation during the original trial.

Juvenile Law

Juvenile Law

Juvenile law governs delinquency and other related matters. State statutes define which persons are under the original jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Most states define the upper age of juvenile court jurisdiction in delinquency matters as 17.

When juveniles are referred to the juvenile courts, the court determines whether an adjudicatory hearing is warranted or to transfer jurisdiction to an adult criminal court.

When a juvenile judge sets the case for "adjudication," a trial is set.  In lieu of twelve jurors, juvenile court trials are done by a judge or commissioner. Therefore it is very important that you have a lawyer that is familiar with juvenile court proceedings. Only an experienced juvenile attorney will be able to object to any unfair tactics by the court and prosecutor or the presentation of inadmissible evidence.

Once a juvenile is under juvenile court disposition, the court may retain jurisdiction until the juvenile legally becomes an adult . In some jurisdictions, juvenile offenders may be classified as youthful offenders which can lead to extended sentences.  This is where the defense attorney’s experience and legal expertise will be most beneficial.

Orange County Criminal Defense Attorney - Another Appeals Case Victory

 James M Crawford defends an innocent man who spent two years in jail: 

Recent News

Orange County; Judge Clears Man Who Spent 2 Years in Jail; Courts: Authorities believe someone else committed Anaheim robbery for which he was imprisoned. D.A., challenger disagree on the review process.

A judge on Friday dismissed charges against a man who spent two years in custody for a robbery authorities now believe someone else committed--prompting a candidate for Orange County district attorney to propose an examination of recent wrongful convictions.

George Lopez's case marks the fifth instance in two years that charges have been dropped against people convicted of robberies in the county. The cases turned on eyewitness testimony that ultimately proved unreliable.

Wally Wade, a veteran prosecutor running for district attorney, said the office should take a hard look at all five cases, then use lessons learned to train prosecutors and police on how to prevent wrongful convictions.

"The reason you analyze the past is to learn from it. I think these cases would be good examples," Wade said. "There are too many of these cases. I have no doubt the prosecutors and police are acting in good faith. But good faith doesn't get a man a year or 20 years of his life back."

Lopez, 19, was serving a 13-year sentence for the armed robbery of an Anaheim loan office when questions about his conviction began to surface. First, two victims of the crime stepped forward to profess his innocence. Last summer, another man told The Times that he, not Lopez, committed the crime.
Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas, who is running for reelection, said his office acted prudently in the Lopez case, agreeing to dismiss the case this week after its own investigation cast doubt on Lopez's guilt. He said Wade's suggested remedies are unnecessary.

"Our prosecutors train about eyewitness cases all the time," Rackauckas said. "This is not anything new. . . . He just sees this as an opportunity to try to help his campaign."
Rackauckas said that in 2000 he teamed with Public Defender Carl Holmes to launch a first-of-its-kind project that investigates prisoners' claims of wrongful convictions.
"The reason these people are being released is we have an attitude, if someone's not guilty, we're going to let them out," Rackauckas said. "I didn't see that under the past administration."

Lopez, 19, spent more than two years in custody before a judge ordered his release in September as questions about his guilt mounted. Lopez left the Santa Ana courthouse Friday hand-in-hand with his wife, saying he hopes that the dismissal of the case will help him find a job.
He said no one should have to go through what he did.
"I lost my job. All the money I'd saved for an apartment and wedding went to pay the lawyer," Lopez said. "This can't keep happening. They're playing with people's lives."

Wade questioned Rackauckas' handling of the Lopez case, faulting the district attorney for not ordering an investigation when questions about Lopez's conviction first surfaced more than a year ago. Wade also said Rackauckas has a duty to examine what went wrong.

"We have to analyze why this is happening because it shouldn't be," Wade said. "Police officers and D.A.s cringe at the idea that an innocent person is going to be convicted. So for this many to have been wrongly convicted is disturbing to everyone in law enforcement."
The five recent wrongful convictions in Orange County had some common threads. All involved armed robberies, and the convictions were based in large part on the testimony of victims.
Psychologists have reported for many years that testimony from victims of crime can be unreliable. Wade said prosecutors need to make sure they take additional caution in dealing with those cases.

"All jurors receive special instructions in cases involving eyewitness testimony. Prosecutors should also receive specialized training on evaluating eyewitness testimony," Wade said.

Michael Giannini, director of the Orange County Alternate Defenders Office, agreed that a new approach to eyewitness testimony is needed.
"Anyone in this business, we know the most unreliable evidence is eyewitness evidence," he said. "When it's a total stranger who's robbing you and you're under stress, the reliability goes way down."
Lopez said his concern now is providing for his family and raising the money to have a traditional wedding. He and his wife, Leah, were married by Judge Daniel J. Didier moments after his sentencing in 2000. It was Didier who dismissed the case Friday.
"The only thing I remember from our wedding day is he had to sign the wedding certificate and I could hear the handcuffs hitting the table," Leah Lopez said.

Orange County Criminal Defense Lawyer - DUI Law

Have you or someone you know been arrested for DUI? Contact James M Crawford for help and answers.

If you have been arrested for DUI, you will have to deal with both the criminal justice system and the DMV.

Even for a first offense, the penalties can be serious-including license suspension, fines of almost $2,000, mandatory attendance at State or DMV Approved alcohol programs, and potential jail time. In addition, a DUI conviction stays on your DMV record for at least 10 years, and may result in higher insurance premiums

You must contact a lawyer immediately so that the attorney can request an Admin Per Se hearing with the DMV within ten days of your arrest so that your driving privilege is not suspended.

Unlike the criminal process at Court, the DMV is a civil matter, run by the Office of Driver Safety.

The DMV hearing officer acts as both judge and prosecutor in this procedure. They are only interested in three issues:

- Did the arresting officer have reasonable cause to believe that you were driving under the influence;?

- Was the arrest lawful, and;

- Was your blood alcohol .08 % or higher at the time of driving?

A DMV hearing is won or lost based on technical issues.   Since procedures are different between the Court and the DMV, it is possible to be found guilty in the criminal case, but still win the DMV hearing. On the other hand, if you were actually acquitted in court of the DUI charge, and had previously lost your DMV hearing, you would then have the right to force the DMV to return your license and set aside their suspension.

Mr. Crawford has the knowledge and experience to secure a favorable outcome for driving under the influence charges and DMV matters, such as a dismissal altogether or a reduction to a lessor charge. reduce the time in custody or eliminate it altogether.

James Crawford has tried numerous DUI cases as a defense attorney and has a winning record.   Mr. Crawford is a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial lawyer's College and has extensive knowledge of the psychology behind the art of jury selection.  If you have been arrested for a DUI, you can turn to James Crawford for the DUI law help you need.

Contact Mr. Crawford today to discuss your legal options and start planning your defense.
