People v. Ah Gee Yung

McFarland, J., concurring.

— I concur in the judgment, but do not wish to be understood as commending or approving the first part of the instruction first quoted in the opinion of the commissioner. It is always dangerous to inject new language into the statement of old propositions. After all that has been said by this court in the Bushton Case, and since then, about requiring defendants to prove certain things by a preponderance of evidence, it would seem that trial courts might exercise some caution not to state the rule stronger against a defendant than it is stated in section 1105 of the Penal Code.
