P. v. Padilla CA2/4
In 1999, appellant Mario Salvador Padilla was convicted of a murder he committed when sixteen years old, and was sentenced to a term of life without the possibility of parole (LWOP). The trial court denied his petition under Penal Code section 1170, subdivision (d)(2) (section 1170(d)(2)), which permits specified defendants sentenced to LWOP terms for murders they committed as juveniles to be resentenced. We reject his challenges to that ruling and affirm.
