Much media talk about CM's sentencing hearing next Tuesday. Here are some thoughts. Under CA law, invl mansl carries 2,3,or 4 years prison.
Under s.1170 of CA Penal Code, where there are 3 sentences specified judge must pick the middle one, unless aggravating or mitigating circs.Thus at the sentencing hearing, both sides will adduce evidence. Pros will argue aggravating circumstances looking for a 4 year sentence.The def will adduce mitigating evidence look to reduce the sentence as much as they can. CM has the right to be heard, but no right to xexam. So defence cannot x- examine any member of the Jackson family who gives evidence at CM's sentencing hearing. Letters etc are admissible.
