On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in People v. Gonzalez, which raises the issue whether the defendant was properly convicted of both oral copulation of an unconscious person and oral copulation of an intoxicated person. (See People v. Craig (1941) 17 Cal.2d 453.) Gonzalez was argued in September.
If it feels like you haven’t seen a Supreme Court opinion in a while, you’re not imagining things. Because the lack of oral arguments in July and August causes empty-pipeline syndrome, Gonzalez will be the first opinion filed in over seven weeks.
The opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
