P. v. Dawson CA3
After simultaneous but separate jury trials, defendants Amoura Dominique Dawson and Adrienne Marquis Boulware were convicted of second degree murder and torture for beating Audie Hogue to death. The trial court sentenced defendant to a term of 15 years to life in prison. Defendant did not appeal her judgment. Boulware appealed and we affirmed the judgment. (People v. Boulware (March 3, 2015, C075063) [nonpub. opn.] (Boulware).) We have granted defendant’s request to incorporate by reference the record in Boulware, (case No. C075063) in the instant appeal.
In 2019, defendant filed a petition for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.95. (Statutory section citations that follow are found in the Penal Code.) The trial court denied the petition, finding that because the jury was never instructed on felony murder or the natural and probable consequence doctrine, defendant failed to make a prima facie showing of eligibility for resentencing.
