P. v. Ford CA1/3
In 2003, defendant Sammie Lee Ford was sentenced to two 25 years to life sentences for two Sonoma County burglaries, and a 28-month sentence for a Los Angeles County burglary, which was to be served consecutively to the indeterminate terms. In 2019, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) notified the trial court that the 28-month sentence was illegal. Ford asserted the CDCR’s letter was a recommendation for recall and resentencing under former Penal Code section 1170, subdivision (d), and he requested resentencing on all his counts. The court disagreed, noted it was not recalling Ford’s sentence, and denied his requests for resentencing on the indeterminate terms and the striking of a prior felony conviction.
