P. v. Raynoha CA4/1
In 2005, David Raynoha entered into a plea agreement in which he agreed to testify against his codefendants. In return for his cooperation, Raynoha was allowed to plead guilty to second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)). The remaining charges and allegations were dismissed, and the parties agreed to a sentence of 15 years to life. Because of the nature of the plea agreement, Raynoha was required to testify to the details of the crime as the factual basis of the plea.
Raynoha was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement.
In 2020, Raynoha filed a petition for resentencing under section 1170.95. The trial court appointed counsel, received briefing, and reviewed the record of conviction. The court denied the petition by written order without first issuing an order to show cause (OSC) and holding an evidentiary hearing.
