P. v. Angrisani CA6
In 2011, pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, defendant Shane Christopher Angrisani pleaded guilty to a violation of former Health and Safety Code section 11352 for transporting a controlled substance, namely heroin, with a stipulation that the offense involved transportation for personal use. He was initially placed on Proposition 36 probation, and later he was placed on three years of formal probation. In 2014, the Legislature decriminalized transportation of heroin for personal use by amending Health and Safety Code section 11352 to define “transports” to mean “transport for sale.” (Health & Saf. Code, § 11352, subd. (c); Stats. 2013, ch. 504, § 1, p. 4151.) In 2015, after many violations of probation, defendant was sentenced to a so-called split sentence pursuant to section 1170, subdivision (h)(5)(B), consisting of a three-year term with execution of the concluding 12-month portion of the term suspended and deemed a period of mandatory supervision.
