  1. PEOPLE v. LUCAS

    Respondent’s Brief

    Filed January 12, 2006

    As he impliedly agrees, where a statutory word “is commonly understood andis not used in a technical sense, the court need not give any sua sponte instruction as to its meaning.” (People v. Rodriguez, supra, 28 Cal.4th at pp. 546-547.) Appellant cites no authority holding that “burden” has a technical, legal meaning.
