In In re Dunham (1976) 16 Cal.3d 63 the court made a holding in reference to proceedings before the Adult Authority. Reliance was placed on the authority's "'delicate duty . . . to decide when a convicted offender can be safely allowed to return to and remain in society , the authority is in a different posture than the court which decides his original guilt. To blind the authority to relevant facts in this special context is to incur a risk of danger to the public which, at least as of this date, outweighs the competing considerations of a problematical gain in deterrence.' . . ."
