P. v. Tucker CA2/11
Defendant Gregory A. Tucker pleaded guilty to kidnapping to commit robbery in 1983 when he was 19 years old. Decades later, the Legislature created a mechanism for early parole review for youthful offenders in Penal Code section 3051. The Supreme Court determined in People v. Franklin (2016) 63 Cal.4th 261 (Franklin) that defendants who will become eligible for such a parole hearing are entitled to create a record of evidence pertaining to youthful characteristics.
