P. v. Rodabaugh CA2/6
In 1986, Rodabaugh pled guilty to forgery of a credit card application (§ 470). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Rodabaugh on probation.
In March 2018, Rodabaugh filed an application to have the forgery charge reduced to a misdemeanor pursuant to Proposition 47. The trial court denied the petition finding that (1) he did not show that the value of the credit card was $950 or less; (2) he posed an unreasonable risk to public safety; and (3) forgery of a credit card application does not fall within Proposition 47’s provisions.
