P. v. Ibe CA1/1
A jury convicted appellant Andanna Ibe of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder of a woman and her 11-month-old child. Ibe argues on appeal that the trial court erred by denying her motion to suppress a statement made in a post-arrest interview. She claims the statement was obtained in violation of her rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda).
Ibe also contends that we should remand for resentencing due to a recent statutory amendment to Penal Code section 654. The statute previously required an act or omission punishable in different ways by different laws to be punished under the law that provided for the longest potential term of imprisonment. Assembly Bill No. 518 (2021–2022 Reg. Sess.) (Assembly Bill No. 518) amended section 654 to afford trial courts the discretion to punish the act or omission under any of the applicable laws.
