Does the Attorney General have any authority to prevent a defendant from obtaining a copy of a minute order?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Blanchard, H038120 (Cal. App. 2014):
Defendant first contends the trial court erred by finding that the minute order was hearsay. The Attorney General does not dispute this point. Although the documentation defendant offered is not part of the record, a certified copy of a minute order showing a conviction is typically not made inadmissible by the hearsay rule. (See Evid. Code, 452.5, subd. (b); People v. Duran (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 1448, 1460-1461.)
