P. v. Talk
Defendant Thomas Gene Talk pled guilty to transportation of methamphetamine arising out of conduct on March 1, 2004. He was sentenced to three years in state prison and was ordered to pay various fines and penalties, including DNA penalty assessments in the amount of $5 and $15. (Gov. Code, 76104.6.) On appeal, defendant contends, and the People concede, that the imposition of DNA penalty assessments violates the state and federal constitutional prohibitions against ex post facto laws. Court agree and modify the judgment accordingly.
