Source-supplied abstracts

Existing law establishes the requirements for a continuance to be granted in a criminal case, including a showing of good cause. Existing law defines "good cause" for this purpose to include, but not be limited to, cases involving specified crimes, including murder and domestic violence, and to apply when the prosecuting attorney assigned to the case has another trial, preliminary hearing, or motion to suppress in progress in that court or another court. This bill would expand the types of cases that may support a finding of good cause to include a felony elder or dependent adult abuse violation where the victim is a cognitively impaired adult, as specified. The bill would define "cognitively impaired adult" for these purposes. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 1050 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1656 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1656 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
