- Criminal: conviction in San Bernardino Superior Judge Michael Smith’s courtroom affirmed in People v. Zile (FSB19002378/D080382)
- Zachariah Zile appealed his conviction for murder. He had drunkenly slammed his car into an SUV at Interstate 210’s Highland Avenue Exit in 2019. Zile claimed the trial court erred by denying his motion to discharge a juror for talking with an employee of the district attorney’s office and by the court’s allegedly improper jury instructions. The Court of Appeal found that the juror’s discussion with the district attorney’s office was only with the juror’s close friend, who happened to work at the office, and only discussed the juror’s attraction to a man during trial.
