Q: My boyfriend incarcerated for PC 212.5, in 2017 he was sentenced to 9 years, gang enhancements added to the sentencing
My boyfriend is incarcerated for PC 212.5, in 2017 he was sentenced to 9 years, 667a enhancements added to the sentencing. He has a parole release date in 2023, now after taking many classes and being in fire camp. Is there anyway to reduce more time after new laws passed regarding extra time for enhancements?
A:
you need to make an appointment with a local criminal atty who can review all the facts of the case and his prior record, if any.
i would start with the lawyer who represented him.
A: Prison prior- 667.5(b) enhancements are now gone- but not 667a enhancements. If he successfully participated as a hand crew member at fire camp, once he's been released from custody, he can apply for relief from the convictions that sent him there, and parole, under the new 1203.4b P.C.
