P. v. Sanchez CA5
An information was filed on June 27, 2008, charging Sanchez with murdering three people while engaged in the crimes of kidnapping and robbery. Sanchez went to trial and was ultimately found guilty of three counts of second degree murder, one count of attempted second degree murder, four counts of kidnapping, and various related enhancements.
In our prior resolution of Sanchez’s direct appeal, we recited the factual basis for the case and Sanchez’s defense as well as the core dispute regarding Sanchez’s convictions for second degree murder. (People v. Sanchez (June 25, 2012, F058796) [nonpub. opn.].) On that later point, this court noted that Sanchez’s convictions necessarily turned on an aider and abettor theory of liability and that there was substantial evidence supporting the jury’s verdict.
On July 5, 2019, Sanchez filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to former section 1170.95. On July 17, 2019, a second petition, filed by counsel, was also submitted.
