P. v. Bobo CA2/3
In 1982, a jury convicted Albert Bobo of first degree murder under the felony murder doctrine. Decades later, Bobo petitioned for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.95, arguing that he was not a major participant in the crime who acted with reckless indifference to human life. (See generally People v. Banks (2015) 61 Cal.4th 788 (Banks); People v. Clark (2016) 63 Cal.4th 522 (Clark).) The trial court disagreed and denied the petition after an evidentiary hearing. We now conclude that there was insufficient evidence to support the reckless indifference to human life finding.
