On September 22, 1978, appellant was charged with murder with the special circumstance that it occurred during the commission of a robbery and involved torture. Additional charges of robbery, aggravated assault, and kidnapping were included, along with enhancements for the use of a firearm.
Appellant proceeded to trial and was ultimately convicted of first degree murder, two counts of robbery, aggravated assault, and kidnapping to commit robbery, along with certain firearm enhancements. Appellant received a life sentence in line with the sentencing rules of that time.
On January 31, 2019, appellant submitted a standard petition form seeking resentencing under former section 1170.95. Appellant requested counsel. Although the form was not fully marked to demonstrate eligibility, the trial court appointed counsel and ordered the People to provide a response.
