this is hilarious. death penalty case - murder was in 1994, verdict in 2000, and automatic appeal to the cal supremes was filed in 2000. opening brief filed in 2011 of "40,678 words; 547 pp" and the case was finally decided today.

159 page opinion affirming the judgment in all respects, except the court strikes a $200 fine. and there's a dissent by one justice -- who would not strike the $200 fine.
