P. v. Cornejo CA3
Defendant Adam Cornejo appeals from the trial court’s order denying his petition for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.95. Defendant argues he was convicted of murder and attempted murder under the natural and probable consequences doctrine based on the language in the trial court’s jury instruction on implied malice and was thus eligible for relief under the statute. In supplemental briefing, defendant further contends that the passage of Senate Bill No. 775 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) (Senate Bill 775) requires reversal and remand for a hearing on whether he stated a prima facie case under amended section 1170.95, subdivision (c). We will affirm the trial court’s order.
