A158608

The Court of Appeal remanded the case for the trial court to reconsider appellant’s sentence in light of recent amendments (Senate Bill No. 567 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) to Penal Code section 1170, which, among other things, created a presumption in favor of the low term where the defendant experienced psychological, physical, or childhood trauma and those factors contributed to the commission of the offense. Due to appellant’s plea agreement including a stipulated prison term, the Court further held that a limited remand in accordance with People v. Stamps (2020) 9  Cal.5th 685 was the appropriate remedy.
