Justice Manual § 9-63.1205
Death Penalty Protocol
A number of statutes used in gang prosecutions require compliance with the Department's "Death Penalty Protocol," which was established on January 27, 1995. In all cases for which death is a possible penalty (regardless of whether a district intends to seek the death penalty), a prosecution memorandum and death penalty evaluation must be submitted. See JM 9-10.000.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
