Is section 1001.36 of the California Criminal Code a "stressed interpretation" of the law and, if so, would it be impertinent for the court to place a strained interpretation upon the statute?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Klein, F077903 (Cal. App. 2019):

In conclusion, the legislative intent behind section 1001.36 is clear from the text of the statute and confirmed by the legislative history. "It would be impertinent for this court to place a strained interpretation upon [the] statute merely to bring about a result which, in the enactment of that statute, was neither contemplated nor intended." (People v. Borja (1980) 110 Cal.App.3d 378, 382.)
