California Court of Appeal

Conviction and sentence of defendant to 61 years to life in prison (for crimes he committed when he was 16 years old) is reversed and remanded, where, pursuant to the California Supreme Court’s decision in People v. Caballero, a defendant convicted of crimes committed while a minor must be given a sentence that permits a meaningful opportunity for release from prison within his expected lifetime.
