People v. Aguirre

Opinion

AGLIANO, P. J.

In this case we are asked to determine whether defendant Arnold Aguirre was denied a substantial right by the prosecution’s failure to inform him of the existence of confidential information pursuant to Penal Code section 859 and by its failure to provide him with several discoverable reports of Correctional Training Facility personnel until after the preliminary examination.
