California Court of Appeal

Denial of defendant's petition for resentencing is affirmed, where: 1) the abuse of discretion standard applies when reviewing an appeal from a trial court's denial of a petition for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.126 based on the court's finding that release of the petitioner would present an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety; and 2) there was no abuse of discretion.
