The following excerpt is from People v. Bright, 12 Cal.4th 652, 49 Cal.Rptr.2d 732, 909 P.2d 1354 (Cal. 1996):
5 As one court observed: "The effect of Proposition 7 in making all degrees of attempted murder punishable in the same way was not readily apparent from a reading of the initiative." (People v. Flores (1986) 178 Cal.App.3d 74, 84, 223 Cal.Rptr. 465.) "The initiative addresses only the crime of murder and the punishments assigned to murder conviction[s]. No mention is made of the crime of attempted murder." (Ibid.)
