P. v. Weekly CA4/1
A jury found Frederick Justine Weekly guilty of first degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and that Weekly personally discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury and death (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). The trial court sentenced Weekly to a prison term of 50 years to life, consisting of a 25-year-to-life term for the murder and a 25-year-to-life term for the firearm enhancement.
We originally issued an opinion in this matter on September 29, 2017. On January 10, 2018, our Supreme Court granted Weekly's petition for review and transferred this matter to us with directions that we vacate our September 29, 2017 decision and "reconsider the cause in light of S.B. 620, chapter 682, amending Penal Code section 12022.53, subdivision (h)" which was enacted by the Legislature after we issued our September 20, 2017 opinion.
