THIS VIDEOTAPE SHOWS THE SENTENCING OF FELONY DEFENDANTS AND THE PROCEDURES FOR INITIATING THE APPEAL OF GUILTY VERDICTS AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS - THIS TAPE IS BASED ON CALIFORNIA LAW AND MAY NOT APPLY TO OTHER STATES.

Abstract

VIEWERS WILL WITNESS EXCERPTS FROM THE SENTENCING PROCEEDING, BEGINNING WITH THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS' MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL AND ENDING WITH THE FINAL PRONOUNCEMENT OF JUDGMENT. THE COURTROOM CLERK'S ROLE IN KEEPING ACCURATE RECORDS THROUGHOUT THIS AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS IS EMPHASIZED. THE RECORDKEEPING IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN THIS CASE. THE COURTROOM CLERK'S RECORDS (AS REFLECTED IN THE OFFICIAL COURT MINUTES) AND THE COURT REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPTS ARE ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD ON APPEAL. THIS RECORD WILL FORM THE BASIS FOR THE APPELLATE COURT'S DECISION WHEN THE CASE IS APPEALED. BOTH OF THE DEFENDANTS IN THIS CASE APPEAL THEIR CONVICTIONS. THIS PROGRAM WILL SUMMARIZE BASIC DISPOSITION PROCEDURES WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE AFTER THE FINAL SENTENCING. IN ADDITION, APPEALS PROCEDURES, WHICH EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF THE CASE FROM SUPERIOR COURT TO AN APPELLATE COURT, ARE DESCRIBED IN DETAIL.
