The following excerpt is from People v. Genser, 250 Cal.App.2d 351, 56 Cal.Rptr. 380 (Cal. App. 1967):
The charge of conspiracy to commit acts injurious to public morals and administration of justice was not made as an attempt to unnecessarily malign defendants. The charge that it may have had an adverse effect on defendants is supported by nothing in the record to which our attention is called and by no argument other than the stated claim to that effect. The course of conduct charged and proved indicates to the contrary that the charge aptly fits the conduct for which defendants were indicted. In Lorenson v. Superior Court, 35 Cal.2d 49, at page 59, 216 P.2d 859, at page 865, the court says: '(G)enerally speaking, conduct which constitutes an offense against public justice, or the administration of law includes both malfeasance and nonfeasance by an officer in connection with the administration of his public duties, and also anything done by a person in hindering or obstructing an officer in the performance of his official obligations.
