P. v. Hunter CA4/2
Originally charged with first degree murder along with her mother, in 2013 defendant and appellant Briuana Lashanae Hunter ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (a)) and three counts of attempted murder (§§ 664 & 187, subd. (a)). Defendant also admitted that a principal used a firearm (§ 12022, subd. (a)(1)) during the commission of the voluntary manslaughter.
In 2019, defendant filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to section 1170.95. The trial court denied the petition finding voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder convictions were ineligible for relief under the statute, which was the correct result at the time, and in a prior nonpublished opinion, People v. Hunter (Oct. 19, 2020, E073825) (Hunter I), we affirmed the trial court’s order.
