Criminal Law Supreme Court Opinion

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

SC21074 - Johnson v. Superior Court ("In this writ of error, the plaintiff in error, Gregory Johnson (plaintiff), challenges his conviction of three counts of criminal contempt for conduct he engaged in during his habeas trial. The plaintiff claims that the trial court deprived him of his right to due process under the federal constitution by failing to postpone the summary criminal contempt proceeding to a later date and by failing to order that the hearing on contempt be held before a different judge. We disagree and, accordingly, dismiss the writ of error.")
