P. v. Helm CA1/3
This is an appeal from the trial court’s denial of Christopher R. Helm’s (appellant) petition under Proposition 47 to have one of his prior felony convictions reclassified as a misdemeanor conviction. In his original appeal, we affirmed the denial of his petition on the ground that appellant had failed to present any evidence that the value of the stolen items was less than $950, the threshold for resentencing under Proposition 47. (People v. Helm (March 30, 2016, A144595) [nonpub. opn.], review granted June 8, 2016 (Helm I).)
Appellant filed a petition for review, and the California Supreme Court granted review and held the case along with numerous other similar cases. On August 16, 2017, the Supreme Court transferred the case back to this court for reconsideration in light of People v. Romanowski (2017) 2 Cal.5th 903 (Romanowski).
