Tim Makoto Nukida v. California
Paid petition · Court of Appeal of California, Sixth Appellate District, No. H050513 · judgment March 29, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
-
State courts of last resort are intractably divided over the admissibility of Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome (CSA A S). Should certiorari be granted to clarify that CSA AS is irrelevant, unreliable, and inflammatory, thereby violating due process and fair trial rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments?
-
Should certiorari be granted to address the critical question of whether a 112-year sentence for a firsttime sex offender, whose actions involved minimal lewd conduct with minimal force against a single victim, constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment?
