What is the test for habeas corpus procedures in a capital case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Robinson v. Lewis, 266 Cal.Rptr.3d 13, 469 P.3d 414, 9 Cal.5th 883 (Cal. 2020):

1 This is a noncapital case. Habeas corpus procedures in capital cases are different from those in noncapital cases. (See generally Briggs v. Brown (2017) 3 Cal.5th 808, 824825, 221 Cal.Rptr.3d 465, 400 P.3d 29.) What we say in this case involves only noncapital habeas corpus procedures.
