DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER DIRECTING THE PARTIES TO

LODGE EVIDENCE 

This matter is before the Court on the December 22, 2008 contested motion of Petitioner Paul

C. Bolin (“Bolin”) for an evidentiary hearing. Both Bolin and Respondent Vincent Cullen, as Acting

Warden of San Quentin State Prison (the “Warden”) have briefed the issues and submitted numerous

exhibits for the Court’s review. In the course of reviewing the pleadings, briefs, and exhibits, the Court

finds omissions. First, the trial exhibits, both admitted and excluded, have not been offered. The trial

exhibits are listed at pages 390 through 393 of the Clerks Transcript (Volume II). These exhibits were

considered by both the Kern County Superior Court and the California Supreme Court on direct appeal

as well as in state post conviction proceedings. Second, the September 5, 1989 taped interview of

surviving victim Jim Wilson, referred to in Claim I-3 of the Petition, has not been offered, either in audio

or transcript format. Existence of this interview is documented in the September 12, 1989 supplemental

report of Kern County Sheriff Deputy M. Williamson. See Bolin’s Exhibit 6 at page 28. Conducting

a thorough review of the record and claims on federal habeas corpus requires review of this evidence.
