A jury found appellant guilty of, among other things, two counts of first-degree murder and found true the special circumstance that he was convicted of more than one murder within the meaning of Penal Code section 190.2, subdivision (a)(3). The trial court sentenced appellant to life without the possibility of parole for the special circumstance of multiple murders in addition to two terms of 25 years to life for the murder convictions. The Court of Appeal held that, since section 190.2 applied, life without the possibility of parole is the only authorized punishment; therefore, the imposition of two additional terms of 25 years to life is unauthorized. The Court vacated the sentence and remanded the matter for a full resentencing.
