P. v. Sanchez CA4/1
In July 2010, a jury convicted Joel Elias Sanchez of second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) and found Sanchez personally and intentionally discharged a firearm causing death (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). Sanchez was sentenced to an indeterminate term of 40 years to life in prison.
Sanchez appealed and this court affirmed the judgment in an unpublished opinion. (People v. Sanchez (June 4, 2012, D060315).)
In 2019, Sanchez filed his first petition for resentencing under section 1170.95. After appointment of counsel and a hearing, the court found the record demonstrated Sanchez was the actual killer and that the jury was not instructed on natural and probable consequences or felony murder. Sanchez appealed and this court affirmed the order denying his petition. (People v. Sanchez (July 1, 2020, D077326) [nonpub. opn.].)
In February 2022, Sanchez filed another petition for resentencing under section 1170.95.
