P. v. Barboza CA1/1
Defendant Barboza argues his robbery conviction should be reversed and remanded to juvenile court pursuant to Proposition 57, which abolished the direct filing of criminal charges against juveniles in adult criminal court. Our Supreme Court’s recent decision in People v. Superior Court (Lara) (2018) 4 Cal.5th 299 (Lara) vindicates defendant’s position that Proposition 57 is retroactive. However, defendant does not benefit from Lara because the judgment in his case is final.
