From Times Staff Reports
A Los Angeles judge denied convicted murderer Robert Rosenkrantz’s request Wednesday to be released from state prison on $100,000 bail pending appeal.
In his ruling, Superior Court Judge Paul Gutman cited a California Supreme Court decision ordering Rosenkrantz to remain in prison while the 2nd District Court of Appeal decides whether he was unlawfully denied parole.
Earlier, Gutman found that Gov. Gray Davis’ policy of denying parole to convicted murderers was unconstitutional and ordered the Calabasas man released from prison. Davis appealed.
