People v. Son
Annotate this CaseDefendant raised several claims of error related to his conviction for voluntary manslaughter. The Court of Appeal rejected defendant's contention that the trial court prejudicially erred in failing sua sponte to instruct the jury on involuntary manslaughter; there was no impropriety in the trial court's inquiry and rulings; and imposition of court operations and facilities assessments, without first giving defendant an opportunity to request an ability to pay hearing to show he cannot pay them, is unconstitutional. The court remanded to give defendant an opportunity to request an ability to pay hearing. The court otherwise affirmed the judgment.
