P. v. Joe CA2/3
Defendant and appellant Wardell Joe was originally sentenced in 2004 to life without possibility of parole (LWOP) for first degree murder with a special circumstance finding as an aider and abettor. Based on new authority, the trial court resentenced him in 2017. Joe appeals. He contends that he is entitled to a hearing under People v. Franklin (2016) 63 Cal.4th 261 (Franklin) and to the benefit of newly enacted Senate Bill No. 620, and that other sentencing errors must be corrected. The People concede all issues. We correct the sentencing errors and remand for a Franklin hearing and for resentencing.
