P. v. Silva CA5
In 2016, a jury convicted petitioner Heliodoro Arreola Silva with the first degree murder of Rodolfo B. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189; count 1) and the first degree murder of Reyes B. (§§ 187, subd. (a), 189; count 2). For both counts, the jury found true the special circumstance that petitioner committed multiple murders and committed the murders during the commission or attempted commission of a kidnapping (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(3), (a)(17)(B)). For each murder, the court imposed consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole plus an additional one-year term for a firearm enhancement. (People v. Silva (Aug. 7, 2019, F074899) [nonpub. opn.] (Silva).)
In 2019, petitioner filed a petition for resentencing on his murder convictions pursuant to section 1170.95.
