Document:
Although it’s a case that has gone on for a while, the Los Angeles Times had an excellent in depth look at the case of the PTA mom, who went to a school in Irvine, and was framed for drugs while at the school.
At the Plaza Vista school in Irvine, Kelli Peters was a PTA mom and volunteer at the Plaza Vista school in Irvine. One day, the police apprehended her, searched her car, and found drugs, specifically bags of marijuana, Vicodin and Percocet in Kelli Peters’ car in February 2011.
“Really, from that day on, my life was never the same,” Peters said.
It turned out that the drugs were planted by a husband and wife couple, both attorneys, who later went to trial and were convicted. Kent Easter’s first trial ended in a mistrial, but the second time he was convicted of felony false imprisonment and spent 87 days in jail. Jill Easter pleaded guilty to the same charge and spent about 60 days behind bars.
“If this had happened a few miles away in Anaheim or Santa Ana, where the cops are busy with violent crime, it would almost certainly have gone differently. Who has 20 detectives to spare on something like this? There are murders every day in Southern California that don’t get 20 detectives. The Irvine PD had the time and resources to investigate the hell out of it, and I think they took it personally because they had been used as a tool to hurt one of their citizens.
The victim in the potential Irvine criminal case, Kelli Peters, also has a book that she has authored on the incident as well.
Because both the husband and wife were attorneys, the bar also took action. The bar suspended lawyer JILL EASTER [#198399], 41, of Irvine, and then summarily disbarred her on Oct. 16, 2014, after she had in 2013 pleaded guilty to felony charges of false imprisonment. Because the crime involved moral turpitude, it met the criteria for summary disbarment.
KENT WYCLIFFE EASTER [#199838], 40, of Newport Beach, was placed on interim suspension Dec. 10, 2014 following a conviction for false imprisonment by violence or fraud or deceit.
As it turned out, the husband, Kent Easter, who represented himself at trial, and his wife, who also represented herself, were found liable by the jury, who awarded the plaintiff 5.7 million dollars in a verdict in the civil case. Jill Easter has since changed her name to Ava Everheart.
Irvine criminal defense attorney Paul Meyers represented Kent Easter at trial in the criminal case. Before trial, he was briefly represented by Thomas H. Bienert.
As Orange County DUI Attorneys, we have seen police reports from thousands of DUI stops and arrests. This is intended to be a guide on what to do if you are stopped for DUI – in Irvine or anywhere.
If you are pulled over by the police for drinking and driving, the police are going to be on edge. Officer involved shootings are unfortunately common, or at least happen with some note, and officers are going to be looking for indication of whether or not your encounter with officers will be a safe one or not.
Since being stopped by the police is stressful enough without the fear of a drunk driving arrest added in, it is very important that you at least try to act as normal as possible, and try to stay calm. If you get agitated, excited, or nervous, the police will be suspicious of your behavior, and may immediately think that you have been drinking, or using drugs. That perception can carry through the entire encounter.
You should say as little as possible. There is absolutely no reason to carry on a long conversation with the officer because anything that you say will be used against you – they are there to investigate and see if there is a crime. The police will almost certainly ask you if you know why they pulled you over. The answer to this always should be, “no”. This is a trick question. Many people admit that they were breaking other laws, like speeding, which gives probable cause to the police.
The officer may shine a light directly into your face from a distance of about one foot away. This accomplishes two things – it protects the officer by blinding you (officer safety) and makes you unwilling to do something like reach for a weapon. The light also lets them close enough to smell your breath for alcohol.
If you are told that the police need to search your car, ask if they are asking, or telling, to do this. If they say asking, refuse the search. If they are telling you, then you need to comply and they will do the search. Keep in mind that the police are more adept because they do this on a regular basis. You are at a disadvantage here.
What to Do If Stopped for DUI – Have You Been Drinking?
Now we come to the question that is most asked of me, as an Orange County DUI Lawyer. What do I say when the police ask if I have been drinking?
As reported in the OC Register and elsewhere,The City of Irvine has Banned Marijuana Delivery and Dispensaries and voted to ban delivery of medical marijuana within city limits to patients or customers in Irvine, as well as all marijuana dispensaries within the City.
The Irvine City Council voted unanimously in January, 2016, to ban all commercial uses of marijuana, including cultivation, delivery and the operation of dispensaries within city limits.
Such bans are popping up in the wake of the state’s Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, which will create a licensing program and rules for related businesses. Portions of that law kicked in March 1st of 2016.
Irvine’s city code already forbids marijuana cultivation or dispensaries, but Irvine – like some other Orange County cities – decided to make the ban more explicit and specify that delivery is also not allowed. That’s to maintain local control over commercial marijuana uses as the state establishes the licensing system, officials have said.
With the ban, patients in Irvine whose doctors have prescribed marijuana will have to leave the city to get the medicine.
Mayor Pro Tem Lynn Schott said she believes the community would not want dispensaries or “carte blanche” cultivation. However, she said she would prefer delivery to patients not be forbidden.
“If their doctor proscribes cannabis to them to relieve suffering … how would that patient receive or be able to get ahold of the substance?” Schott said.
Councilwoman Christina Shea disagreed, saying that patients can go to another city or get someone else to pick up medicine for them.
Councilwoman Beth Krom said she hoped the discussion would prompt the community to “engage around incredibly uncomfortable issues” including drug and alcohol abuse.

A valid guilty plea requires advisement and express waiver by defendant of the fundamental rights to jury trial, to confront and cross-examine witnesses, and against self-incrimination, as well as understanding the nature of the charge and the direct consequences of the plea. As a Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions term, it applies to plea bargains.
BRACAMONTE MOTION (People v. Bracamonte (1981) 119 Cal.App.3d 644).
reasonable probability that the outcome of the trial would have been different had the evidence been disclosed.
CERTIFIED PLEA (Penal Code §859(a)).
CHAPMAN STANDARD (Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18 [17 L.Ed.2d 705]). When an appellant establishes the lower court proceedings contained error impacting his or her federal constitutional rights, the error requires reversal unless the prosecution can establish it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
CRUZ/VARGAS WAIVER (People v. Cruz (1988) 44 Cal.3d 1247; People v. Vargas (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 1107).
As a part of the plea agreement, defendant agrees that should s/he fail to appear at sentencing, a greater term can be imposed by the sentencing court. Defendant must be fully advised of, and waive, right to withdraw plea under PC § 1192.7.
The prosecution is not allowed to impeach a defendant’s exculpatory statements by referring to defendant’s having remained silent after receiving Miranda warnings.
A motion to reduce a wobbler to a misdemeanor pursuant to Penal Code §17(b).
FARETTA RIGHTS (Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 [45 L.Ed.2d 562]).
Upon a basic showing of competence, a criminal defendant is entitled, on demand, to represent himself or herself. (But see People v. Martinez (2000) 528 U.S. 152 [145 L.Ed.2d 597] holding that there is no federal constitutional right to self-representation on appeal.) While this is one of the Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions well known for self representation, the courts have a “Faretta Waiver” instead of a motion for this situation.
FRANKS HEARING (Franks v. Delaware (1978) 438 U.S. 154 [57 L.Ed.2d 667]).
Upon a sufficient prima facie showing, in conjunction with a motion to suppress evidence, a defendant is entitled to a hearing at which to present evidence controverting the information provided in the search warrant affidavit (a motion to “traverse” or “quash” the warrant).
GRIFFIN ERROR (Griffin v. California (1965) 380 U.S. 609 [14 L.Ed.2d 106]).

Defendant had a subjective but unreasonable belief in the need to protect himself or others from deadly harm or great bodily injury.
KURTZMAN ERROR (People v. Kurtzman (1988) 46 Cal.3d 322).
Instructing the jury so that jury is precluded from deliberation on necessarily included offenses unless the jury first acquits defendant of the greater offense. Kurtzman held that Stone v. Superior Court (1982) 31 Cal.3d 503 does not prohibit the jury considering or discussing lesser offense before returning a verdict on greater offense, but jury must first unanimously agree defendant is not guilty of greater crime before returning a verdict on lesser offense.
LEON “GOOD FAITH” EXCEPTION (United States v. Leon (1984) 468 U.S. 897 [82 L.Ed.2d 677]).
Where a search and seizure of evidence has been accomplished pursuant to a warrant which the defendant can show was not supported by probable cause or was in some other way defective, the evidence seized may nonetheless be admissible if the officer executing the search warrant reasonably and in good faith believed the warrant was valid. This is a very common case and will continue to be part of the Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions all over the United States. This, like the Terry case below, is definitely one of the Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions that comes up most often in search and seizure motions.
MARSDEN MOTION (People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118).
MIRANDA RIGHTS (Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [16 L.Ed.2d 694]).
Before engaging in custodial interrogation of a crime suspect, a police officer must advise the suspect of his or her rights against self-incrimination and right to counsel. This may be the most famous of all the Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions terms.
MORRISSEY HEARING (Morrissey v. Brewer (1972) 408 U.S. 471 [33 L.Ed.2d 484]). Morrissey established minimal due process requirements in parole revocation proceedings including an informal hearing to assure the violation is based on verified facts.
MURGIA MOTION (Murgia v. Municipal Court (1975) 15 Cal.3d 286).
Defendant may be entitled to a dismissal of criminal charges upon a showing of selective prosecution for improper purposes, amounting to a violation of right to equal protection of law.
The prosecution’s representation that it will not oppose a grant of probation that includes local custody. While not a case, or even part of the code, is it one of many Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions that most defense lawyers are familiar with.
PITCHESS MOTION (Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531).
POPE-FOSSELMAN STANDARD (People v. Pope (1979) 23 Cal.3d 412; People v. Fosselman (1983) 33 Cal.3d 572).
RAMEY WARRANT (People v. Ramey (1976) 16 Cal.3d 263).

A short term commitment to juvenile hall imposed as a condition of probation in a juvenile delinquency case.
ROMERO MOTION (Romero v. Superior Court (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497).
The sentencing court has discretion to strike prior conviction allegations although the case was charged under the “Three Strike” statute (Pen. Code § 667(b)-(i)).
SERNA MOTION (People v. Serna (1985) 40 Cal.3d 239).
SLOW PLEA (Bunnell v. Superior Court (1975) 13 Cal.3d 592).
A court trial in which the defendant is advised of the same rights that would be attendant to a guilty plea and which the court indicates the high probability of a guilty verdict; however, issues that would have been waived by an actual guilty plea are not waived and are preserved for appeal.
“SOME OTHER DUDE DID IT” (SODDI) DEFENSE (People v. Hall (1986) 41 Cal.3d 826, criticizing the Mendez-Arline test).
A request for instructions on third party culpability. This is not commonly used, unlike the other Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions, except as a joke.
STARE DECISIS DOCTRINE (Auto Equity Sales Inc. v. Superior Court (1962) 57 Cal.2d 450). All California courts exercising inferior jurisdiction are required to follow decisions of courts exercising superior jurisdiction. When there is a conflict of appellate decisions, stare decisis does not apply. The inferior jurisdiction can and must choose between the conflicting decisions.
TERRY STOP (Terry v. Ohio (1968) 392 U.S. 1 [20 L.Ed.2d 889]).
Police may perform a pat down search for weapons where there is reason to believe the suspect is armed and dangerous. This “stop and frisk” case is famous in search and seizure, and is a major one of the Criminal Law Terms and Criminal Defense Motions in a normal defense practice.
VICKERS HEARING (People v. Vickers (1972) 8 Cal.3d 451).
WATSON STANDARD (People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818).
When appellate counsel establishes error which does not rise to the level of the Chapman standard (and is not one of those rare types of error which is reversible per se), reversal is not required unless the appellant can show the error resulted in a miscarriage of justice, namely that absent the error a more favorable result for the defendant was reasonably probable.
WENDE-ANDERS BRIEF (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 [18 L.Ed.2d 493]).
When appellate counsel has reviewed the entire record and cannot locate any arguably meritorious issues, counsel should not take a position adverse to his or her client, but should file a pleading directing the court to any potential issues, and requesting that the appellate court review the record for possible error in the court below.
WHEELER MOTION (People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258).
Prosecutor may not use peremptory challenges to remove potential jurors who are members of a cognizable group based on group bias.
YURKO ERROR (In re Yurko (1974) 10 Cal.3d 857).
Boykin-Tahl requirements apply to enhancing allegations.
A motion to exclude evidence on the basis of undue prejudice and other criteria listed in the statute.
402 HEARING (Evidence Code §402).
A hearing held outside the presence of the jury to decide the admissibility of evidence.

What will happen at my arraignment is a very common question. Most people that are facing a court proceeding, and deciding whether or not they need a criminal defense lawyer, have never been in court at all.
First, it is extremely important that you, or a lawyer, appear at your court date. The court considers your court date a priority over all other options, including work and your other commitments. The court can and definitely will issue a warrant for your arrest if you or a lawyer do not show up.
In some cases, the case is not filed in time for your court date. So double check the court date to make sure that your case is filed. If it is NOT filed, then you should check first with the criminal clerk to see if the case was moved to a future date. If there is no future date, then you will need to check with the prosecutor’s office to see what the status is. It may be that the case was rejected for insufficient evidence (in that case, lucky you). Or it may not yet be received by the prosecutor’s office from the police. Or it may have been sent back to the police to gather more evidence for prosecution.
In some cases, the court will have a calendar number which you will need to use the refer the case by to the court. Make note of that number.
You have different options, depending on whether or not you wish to enter a plea of NOT GUILTY, or GUILTY.
Request the appointment of the Public Defender.
If you elect to proceed without an attorney and represent yourself in the case, including at trial, then you will need to fill out a waiver of attorney form. (That form is known as a Faretta waiver). The court is required to determine whether or not you are competent to proceed representing yourself.
The court will permit a brief continuance (to the court, brief means 2-4 weeks) for you to hire an attorney. You will need to sign and submit a “Request for Continuance – Misdemeanor Form”. By continuing the arraignment, you will be waiving your right to have a speedy trial within 45 days of your original court date. As a result, when the court asks if you wish to waive your speedy trial rights, you will need to say “yes”.
The public defender is the court appointed attorney. You will need to fill out and submit a financial statement for the court to determine your eligibility. At the conclusion of the case, the court typically conducts a hearing to determine whether or not you should reimburse the county. Reimbursement is for all or part of the costs of the public defender or other court appointed attorney. If so determined, that order becomes a civil judgment against you.
The court offer is more than likely to be less than that which will be offered by the prosecuting attorney, although not always. The offers for driving under the influence, and driving on a suspended license cases are posted in the courtroom, in most cases. The court will usually give you the minimum term sentence for your offense, given the facts of your case. You will be given a waiver of rights form which you will need to read, initial, and sign. Once completed, return the form to the bailiff.
Speak with the prosecuting attorney. This is the district attorney or city attorney. The prosecuting attorney does not represent you. They will make an offer to resolve the case, which you are free to accept or reject. If you decide that you do not want to accept the offer of the prosecuting attorney, then you will need to select one of the above remaining options.
Note: If you are current or former United States military, then you may be entitled to additional rights. Those include the option to participate in Veteran’s Court. The court has additional forms that explain those rights. You can make the decision if you wish to participate in that program.

Your Rights During a Traffic Stop – What Can The Police Do?
Now, more than ever, you need to know what the police can and cannot do when you are stopped for a traffic detention, or when you are otherwise being investigated for a crime. This page briefly outlines your rights during a traffic stop, so you can be safe and keep out of jail or prison and answers the question of Your Rights During a Traffic Stop – What Can The Police Do?
This applies even if you are not a U.S. Citizen. Everyone in the United States has those rights, as they apply against the police, not attach to the person.
Casual conversation characterizes this section. If an officer you ask, “am I free to leave“, the officer would respond, “yes“, if consensual.
Q: Am I required to show ID?
Legal Searches Allowed: A legal search of anything that is consented to or is in plain sight would be upheld by courts.
This section is characterized by temporary detainment for further information. The legal standard used to review actions of the police is Reasonable Articulable Suspicion.
Q: Am I free to leave?
This actually depends on the State you are in. Here, in California, you do not have to show ID. California is one of 26 states that do not require you to show ID during investigative detention.
Legal Searches Allowed: A legal search is allowed during a frisk of your person, or of anything that is in plain sight, or is agreed to be searched by consent.
An arrest occurs when you are taken into police custody. You are not free to leave as you are detained at that point. The highest evidence level is required.
Q: Am I under arrest?
Am I required to show ID?
Legal Searches Allowed: Frisk, plain sight, consensual, inventory of items, or warrant.
If you have been arrested for a crime, and are curious about your rights given the individual facts of your case, remember that you always have the right to challenge a criminal charge against you. And the police do make mistakes all the time. Any plea to a criminal charge can have serious life consequences you need to consider. It makes sense for you to make sure you’ve evaluated all of the legal defense options available to you under California criminal law, and the Constitution of the United States.

Orange County Crime Statistics from 2015 are shown on the map above. As of the date of this writing (2016) the last available statistics show that Orange County Crime Statistics have risen, after years of falling. In 2015, the overall crime rate rose 23% for Orange County.
“…police officials blame the surge on a state law they say makes it difficult to keep drug addicts and other low-level offenders locked up, leaving them on the streets to repeat the same crimes and steal to feed their addictions.
The biggest increases were in Rancho Santa Margarita, where crime went up over 50%, followed by Garden Grove, where crime rose over 40%, and then Fountain Valley, also over 40%.
Local criminologists warn that anecdotal evidence and short-term increases in crime have been used in the past by police, prosecutors and others to attack legislation they oppose – regardless of whether a causal link has been established.
Charis E. Kubrin, a UC Irvine professor of criminology, said that was the case in 2011, when police departments around the state predicted a new state law, AB109, would cause a crime wave. The legislation, intended to reduce California prison crowding, shifted some state inmates and ex-inmates to the supervision of county agencies.
Nearly five years later, the predictions of increased crime tied to the change were largely discredited in numerous studies by the nation’s top criminologists. The collected studies were published this month in a volume of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science that Kubrin co-edited.

In Ohio, a man was sentenced to 240 days in jail for simply expressing his First Amendment rights. The man was jailed for nine months for warning people of DUI checkpoints in Ohio. Holding a “turn here to avoid DUI checkpoint sign”, he was arrested. He had been warning drivers of upcoming DUI checkpoints by holding up signs advising there was a checkpoint, and videotaping police in public from a June, 2014 incident.
Police officer, James Manzo, approached the man, Mr. Odolecki and stated that informing motorist to “turn now” was obstructing police business. Of course Odolecki disagreed and refused to stop warning drivers of the checkpoint. For his refusal he was issued a charge of obstructing justice and the police confiscated his sign.
Douglas “Deo” Odolecki of Cleveland Cop Block, took his case to trial, and was whisked away to jail immediately after the trial upon being sentenced. He was remanded into custody to start his sentence immediately..
His attorney, John Gold, has stated that he plans to file an appeal.
“The judge far exceeded her authority today,” he said in a telephone interview with the website Photography is Not a Crime, which sticks up for photographers by publicizing cases like this one.
Man jailed for nine months for warning people of DUI checkpoints is a headline I never thought I would see. The Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to the US Constitution, include the First Amendment. That Amendment allows US Citizens to have the right of free speech, freedom of religion, and free assembly, and prohibits the government, through the police of other agencies, from impinging upon that right.
It’s hard to see how the appeals court could not find that a government agency, here the police, was infringing upon free speech. A sign carried by a citizen is the epitome of free speech, and the instructions to “turn here” to avoid the DUI checkpoint are certainly speech.

Our law firm has a rather detailed case study, for the education of clients, of a case that was dismissed through a Serna motion. A Motion to Dismiss Criminal Charges (Serna Motion) alleges that a case was not prosecuted timely, in violation of the speedy trial rights of the defendant.
Specifically, Penal Code section 1382 in California gives a speedy trial right and sets the statute of limitations for certain offenses. In general, and it’s always a better idea to check the crime against the code specifically, misdemeanors have to be brought to trial within one year of arrest, and most felonies within three years of arrest, with strike (serious, violent, or sexual felony crimes) having much longer statutes of limitations.
time period. Us, as defense attorneys, makes the objection to having the case put over past the last (the 10th) day. On the next day in court we need to make the motion to dismiss because the court violated our client’s 1382 rights.
With cases alleging a mistrial, it is 30 days from the date of the mistrial. If that happens to be a date that falls on a court holiday, or a weekend, the date goes to the following court day. A prepared criminal defense attorney will set the motion for the objection for that day. This is one type of motion that does not need to be researched, prepared, written, served, and argued — a criminal defense lawyer can do this orally, on the record, and for appeals purposes, needs to make sure the court reporter takes it down or that what happened in bringing the motion (the fact that it was brought, and the decision), is reflected in the court minute order.
Timing: Under California Rules of Court 4.111 defense lawyers need to give the DA 10 days notice of any pretrial motion. The Defense Attorney will need to file a motion shortening time along with the motion objection to the continuance. This has to be done on the last day. If counsel made an objection to any future dates set, as being beyond the 30 day time period, when the court set the new trial date, then the record is preserved and the criminal defense lawyer can make the dismissal motion on the 10th day.
