Supreme Court of California
PEOPLE v. ANSELL, S079744
A postcrime amendment which restricts the availability of a certificate of rehabilitation under Penal Code section 4852.01 et seq. does not violate the ex post facto clause because a certificate has no direct or indirect ameliorative effect on the "punishment" for a crime.
