P. v. Reyes CA2/3
Lisandro Reyes was accused of committing second degree robbery and assault with a deadly weapon when he was 17 years old. He was tried and convicted in adult criminal court and sentenced to serve 28 years to life in state prison.
After Reyes’s conviction, but while this case was on appeal, the voters passed Proposition 57, which changed the standards by which courts determine whether minors will be tried in juvenile or adult court. We conclude that Proposition 57 applies retroactively, and thus we conditionally reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
