P. v. Sullivan CA2/8
Petitioner Randy D. Sullivan, along with his co-defendants Joshua Lockett and Terrell Henderson, was convicted in 2014 of the murder of Brandon Houston. All three defendants petitioned for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.95. The trial court held a single evidentiary hearing where no new evidence was presented, and the defendants based their arguments on the trial record. The court denied all three petitions for resentencing in a single order in August of 2019. Lockett and Henderson filed timely appeals. We resolved these appeals via a nonpublished opinion. (People v. Lockett et al. (July 23, 2021, B301103) [nonpub. opn] (Lockett).) In Lockett, we reversed the trial court and ordered that Lockett’s and Henderson’s petitions for resentencing be granted.
