All right, the Court of Appeal for this
district is not session. So they just want Elton and then something that you are done with problems. Good morning, please be seated. Welcome to the Sixth District Court of Appeal for oral argument this morning. We have four matters on calendar today. There will not be a panel change. Um And let me do make a brief announcement while we get settled here on the bench. Uh We have um It's been our pleasure to offer remote access to the court to counsel and self represented litigants. Um and there are going to be some parties who appear remotely this morning. For those of you who are at council table you'd have devices and you'd be able to see whoever is appearing remotely and we're able to see here on the bench.
If you're sitting in the audience you cannot see, you will be able to hear everything that happens. Um if you want the visual and audio experience, you can step into the waiting room where we have a live stream and you'd be able to see the participants as well. We also post oral argument almost immediately after it's been completed on the court's website. And as I'm talking about technology, um, just to let you know that the justices we have our Laptops here up at the bench and if you see us looking off to the right, we have the briefs, our notes, we have the record, everything that we need is here. Um so if you see us looking in that direction, that's what's happening. All right, uh give me just a minute to get situated and then we'll start.
Mm.
Let me call the first matter on calendar H O five two O one three, the people, plaintiff and respondent versus Raymond Harrow Junior defendant and appellant. If I could have appellants counsel, go to the podium, uh state your appearance and confirm your time estimate, please.
Good morning. Sangita Senha on behalf of Appellant. Right. Uh
twelve minutes to open, three for rebuttal.
Yes.
All right, thank you. I've you just step aside so we can get the other appearance and then we'll be hearing from you.
Good morning. Katie Stowe for the People. My
estimate is five minutes. Five minutes. Thank you very much, Ms. Stowe. All right, Miss Sinha.
May I ask your honors, is there a timer? No. I'm your timer. I'm looking at so yeah. So um I can let you know when you have a minute left. And could I ask you just to speak up a little bit? Of course.
Is this better? Can you hear me? No.
I don't wanna yell at your honour. Is the podium all the way up? You may be able to move the podium up. It looks it might be the highest it can be. I think it might be the highest it can be, but if you could check please.
Mechanical technology. I'm flummoxed.
Okay, that's as high as it goes. So I will do my best and I will ask uh You to tell me, of course, if you're having problems. All right. Thank you. May it please the court counsel for respondent. There is a line between reasonable inference and improper speculation. And the case against appellant Raymond Harrow crossed that line. Appellant was convicted of first degree murder and conspiracy to murder, and the people's theory was that he aided and abetted his co-defendant. But the gap between what was actually proved And what due process requires to support a conviction was filled not by evidence But entirely by layers of speculation on speculation. This court must review for substantial evidence. А інк'сент just to remember that it's not any evidence.
It is evidence of solid value that inspires confidence. Та вод пермит арашотрі о факт. to find guilt had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So as we look to the evidence in this case, I think first it's important just to remind ourselves what the people had to prove on an aiding and abetting theory, and that is the direct perpetrator committed a crime. Appellant knew that he intended to commit a crime. Pellet had the specific intent. To further the commission of that crime. And that with that intent appellant acted. Committed a an affirmative act to assist the direct perpetrator. With that in mind, let's look at what the evidence actually showed.
