Summary

Under existing law, to continue a hearing in a criminal proceeding specified procedures must be followed. Existing law requires the court in felony cases to set a trial date within 60 days of the defendant's arraignment in superior court except upon a showing of good cause, and prohibits a court from granting a continuance in a criminal proceeding absent a showing of good cause. Existing law defines "good cause" for the purpose of these provisions to include, but not be limited to, cases involving murder, stalking, domestic violence, or a hate crime when the prosecuting attorney has another trial, hearing or motion to suppress in progress. This bill would provide that the crime of assault with intent to commit a specified sexual offense, in violation of a specified provision, shall be included in the definition of "good cause," a showing of which is a basis for the granting of a continuance in a criminal proceeding when the prosecution is so engaged.
