Name: People v. Black
Case #: C041080
Court: CA Court of Appeal
District 3 DCA
Opinion Date: 12/23/2003
Subsequent History: Rev. den. 3/30/04
Summary

The trial court did not err in denying appellant’s motion to prevent the prosecution from referring to itself as “the People” or “the People of the State of California.” This designation is required by multiple statutory authorities, and appellant failed to show that those statutes were facially unconstitutional or unconstitutional as applied.
