People v. Golden
Annotate this CaseThe Court of Appeal affirmed defendant's conviction of possession of child pornography by a registered sex offender. The court held that defendant's suppression motion was correctly denied where a sexually violent predator's (SVP) expectation of privacy was outweighed by society's interests in both the security and order of a maximum-security psychiatric hospital and the treatment and rehabilitation of SVPs. The court also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied defendant's Romero motion where the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it refused to strike defendant's prior convictions for committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under 14 years of age.
