  1. PEOPLE v. RODRIGUEZ

    Appellant’s Petition for Review

    Filed December 15, 2014

    15 requiresa relitigated motion to suppress to be heard by the judge who granted the motion in the first case, this requirement is subject to the presiding judge’s discretionary determination that the first judge is available. Given our interpretation ofthe legislative intent behind section 1538.5, subdivision (p), coupled with the presiding judge’s inherent discretion to assign matters, Judge Nadler’s determination of Judge Chiarello’s availability was not an abuse ofdiscretion. It was not arbitrary or capricious, and it did not deprive defendant ofhis rights underthe statute.

    Filed February 28, 2011

    ’ This exculpatory evidence wasnot provided to petitioner prior to his first trial, and was provided only months before his secondtrial. Importantly, petitioner could not use the exculpatory evidence tolitigate significant issues during hisfirst trial, including his motion under California Penal Code § 1538.5. Had this evidence beentimely provided to petitioner, the death penalty would likely have been precluded as an option during his 3 Significant evidence demonstrating petitioner's reduced culpability for the Carl C. killing wasin trial counsel's possession, but never presented to the jury at petitioner's capital trial. Petitioner's Atascadero State Hospital files reflect that he was administered an clectroencephalogram (EEG)in 1972.
