P. v. Roberts
Michael Roberts, an inmate at Pelican Bay State Prison, was convicted of throwing feces (gassing) at a correctional officer. He argues that the prosecution violated due process by breaching an alleged promise to dismiss this case after Roberts was convicted in another case; that the prosecution failed to prove an element of the offense; that the trial court erred in denying his Pitchess discovery motion; and that the trial court erred in not allowing him to reopen his case so he could testify in his own defense. Court conclude the trial court erred in denying Roberts Pitchess motion and reject the other claims.
