MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hill v. Hartley, 592 F.Supp.2d 1282 (E.D. Cal. 2008):
him, have the right to cross-examine, and to offer evidence of his own.' (Specht v. Patterson (1967) 386 U.S. 605, 610 [18 L.Ed.2d 326, 330, 87 S.Ct. 1209]....)" However, Specht v. Patterson, supra, involved a "new finding of fact" that "was not an ingredient of the offense charged." (Specht v. Patterson, supra, 386 U.S. at p. 608 [18 L.Ed.2d at p. 329, 87 S.Ct. at pp. 1211-12].) Such is not the situation here.]
