P. v. Dixon CA3
Defendant, Thomas Michael Dixon, appeals from a judgment entered after his guilty plea to second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) with a firearm enhancement (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)) and stipulation to serve a prison sentence of 19 years to life. Defendant argues the recent amendment of section 3051 extending youthful offender parole hearings to individuals who committed the controlling offense at the age of 25 or younger, entitles him to remand to the trial court for the limited purpose of determining whether he has had an adequate opportunity to present evidence relevant to that parole hearing and to present such evidence if the court determines he did not. The People agree defendant is entitled to limited remand for these purposes.
