P. v. Neufeld CA2/1
A jury found Roger Henry Neufeld guilty of second degree robbery based on his theft of a candy bar from a convenience store and his subsequent interactions with the store’s sales associate. (Pen. Code, § 211.) In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found that Neufeld suffered two prior serious and/or violent felonies pursuant to section 667, subdivision (d) and suffered a prior serious felony pursuant to section 667, subdivision (a)(1). The trial court dismissed one of Neufeld’s prior “strikes” pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero), and sentenced Neufeld to 11 years in state prison.
We affirmed the trial court’s judgment and the Supreme Court denied Neufeld’s petition for review in 2016. (People v. Neufeld (Sept. 16, 2016, B265952) [nonpub. opn.], review denied Dec. 14, 2016, S237938 (Neufeld I).)
In 2018—long after the judgment in this matter became final —the Legislature enacted and the Governor signed Senate Bill No. 1393
