Silva v. City of Merced CA5
Appellant Heliodoro Silva, an inmate serving two consecutive life terms, filed this civil suit for damages against the City of Merced in connection with his prior criminal case. The civil complaint alleged (1) the prosecutor and investigating detective involved in his prior criminal case, along with a judge who denied his petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his criminal convictions, wrongfully conspired to secure and uphold his convictions, and (2) the investigating detective discriminated against him by punching him in the stomach to obtain a false confession. The trial court sustained the City of Merced’s demurrer without leave to amend. We affirm.
