P. v. Collins
Defendant Edgar Mac Collins filed a Pitchess motion (Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess)) before trial and the trial court held an in camera hearing to determine whether there had been past allegations that Deputy William Olive, one of the officers involved in defendants arrest, planted evidence on those he arrested. After reviewing the files provided by the custodian of records, the court concluded there was nothing subject to disclosure. On appeal, defendant asks us to conduct an independent review of the sealed records regarding his Pitchess motion. (See Evid. Code, 1043.) Court have done so and affirm the judgment.
