P. v. Love CA2/2
Davaughn Love (defendant), who was convicted of attempted murder and other crimes in 2016, appeals from the denial of his petition for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.95. In a partially published opinion issued on October 1, 2020, we affirmed that denial solely on the ground that section 1170.95 did not accord relief to persons convicted of attempted murder. (People v. Love (Oct. 1, 2020, B302892) (Love).) Defendant filed a petition for review by the California Supreme Court, which was held along with numerous similar cases. While this case has been pending, our Legislature enacted and the Governor signed into law Senate Bill No. 775 (Senate Bill 775). (Stats. 2021, ch. 551.) Senate Bill 775 amended section 1170.95 to expand eligibility for resentencing to persons convicted of attempted murder.
