P. v. Whitlock CA2/5
Cameron Neil Whitlock contends the trial court erred in declining to accept letters and statements from his family and friends for purposes of a post-conviction proceeding to preserve evidence relevant to a youth offender parole hearing. (Pen. Code, § 3051; see People v. Franklin (2016) 63 Cal.4th 261, 284 (Franklin); In re Cook (2019) 7 Cal.5th 439, 451-453 (Cook).) The People agree that the trial court erred with respect to some of the evidence but also argue that two documents should be excluded. We conclude the court should have admitted all of the documents and reverse.
