Governor's Veto Message |

To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 885 without my signature. AB 885 would allow a court to instruct the jury to consider intentional or knowing prosecutorial discovery violations in determining whether reasonable doubt exists in a criminal case. Prosecutorial misconduct should never be tolerated. This bill, however, would be a sharp departure from current practice that looks to the judiciary to decide how juries should be instructed. Under current law, judges have an array of remedies at their disposal if a discovery violation comes to light during trial. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr. |
