P. v. Williams CA2/5
Gerry Dewayne Williams appeals from an order denying his petition for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.126, a provision enacted under the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012 (Proposition 36). The trial court denied the petition because it found that resentencing Williams would pose an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety.
Williams contends: (1) the statutory language “unreasonable risk of danger to public safety” (§ 1170.126, subd. (f)) is unconstitutionally vague; and (2) the trial court abused its discretion and violated due process by finding an unreasonable risk of danger. We reject these contentions and affirm the order.
