Concurrence Opinion

DENNIS, J.,

would grant and consider the applicant’s ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍complaint that the evidence was constitutionally insufficient to support a conviction under the due process clause and Jackson v. Virginia. The record is available ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍to us and is complete. It has already been reviewed by the Court of Appeal. No good purpose is served by forcing these relators to ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍go through the process of another round of hearings in the lower courts.
