People v. Diaz (Cal. Ct. App. - Dec. 18, 2023)

Justice Wiley authors a lengthy opinion (for him) that discusses and applies 22 pages of legal doctrine. But I can summarize the key practical lesson that I garnered from the thing in a single sentence:

Don't commit a cold-blooded murder in broad daylight with witnesses if you have a very distinctive neck tattoo.

Otherwise they'll pretty much almost certainly catch you and throw you in prison for life.

As here.
