- FraudSome examples of criminal prosecutions in the healthcare field are: MediCal/MediCare fraud, abuse allegations and illegal distribution of controlled substances (e.g., steroids and controlled substance analogues).
- RobberyThe minors in both cases were 14-year-olds at the time of the offenses. Based upon the court’s prior rulings, however, the Court will not likely confine its ruling to that specific age, but to all youths under age 18. In the Alabama case, the defendant was convicted of killing a neighbor in a trailer park. The killing resulted after Miller severely beat the victim, who could not get up from the floor, and who later died of smoke inhalation after Miller set fire to the trailer. In the Arkansas case, the facts support that the minor’s role was that of a lookout in a robbery where a store clerk was shot and killed. This case presents the issue of whether life-without-parole punishment is permissible when the minor is convicted under a felony murder or other theory where intent to kill need not be proven. Any practitioner litigating a case where a minor is tried as an adult for murder should be following these cases closely.

Filing a notice of appeal for the client is simple—Judicial Council forms CR-120 (Notice of Appeal-Felony) and CR-132 (Notice of Appeal-Misdemeanor)—are easy to fill out. These forms can be found at: http://www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm?filter=CR. Trial counsel should consider consulting with an appellate lawyer if there are any questions concerning advice to the client about appealing.
