P. v. Burch CA4/3
Defendant is currently serving 24 years to life in prison for attempted murder, aggravated mayhem, domestic battery, and child endangerment and abuse convictions. The trial court imposed an additional 8-year determinate term sentence which it stayed pursuant to Penal Code section 654. Due to two pieces of newly effective legislation — Assembly Bill 518 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) and Assembly Bill 124 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) — we agree with the parties and defendant’s sentence must be vacated and the matter remanded for resentencing to allow the trial court to exercise discretion under the relevant amended sentencing related statutes.
