A160120

The Court of Appeal remanded for resentencing in light of two amendments (Senate Bill No. 567 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) and Assembly Bill No. 124 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.)) to Penal Code section 1170, which limited the court’s ability to impose a sentence exceeding the middle term and created a presumption in favor of the low term where specified circumstances were “contributing factor[s] in the commission of the offense.” Upon remand, the Court further found it was appropriate for the trial court to reconsider its decision on fines and fees as well.
