What it does
Existing law provides that the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction when a judgment of death has been pronounced. Existing law authorizes the Supreme Court to, before decision, transfer a cause from itself to a court of appeal, and review the decision of a court of appeal in any cause, except that this transfer authorization does not apply to appeals involving a judgment of death.
