Does a District Attorney have any obligation to provide an alibi for an alleged sexual assault victim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Childress, B270380 (Cal. App. 2017):
during the evening of June 29, 2014. By pointing out that the grandmother's testimony had not provided appellant with an actual alibi because the grandmother could not specify the time appellant was with her, the district attorney simply made a fair comment on the state of the evidence, which the prosecution is entitled to do. (People v. Cook (2006) 39 Cal.4th 566, 608.)
