P. v. Trujillo CA1/2
In 2015, defendants Mohammed Zarin Khan and Manuel Trujillo were convicted by a jury of first degree murder and attempted voluntary manslaughter. In 2019, following the passage of Senate Bill No. 1437, they filed petitions under Penal Code section 1170.95 to vacate their murder convictions. Over the People’s opposition, the trial court found defendants had established a prima facie case for relief, issued an order to show cause, and held an evidentiary hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, which was conducted by a judge who did not originally sentence defendants and at which no party introduced new live testimony, the court denied the petitions. Both Khan and Trujillo appeal. We affirm.
