- Criminal: Riverside Superior Judge Anthony Villalobos’s denial of resentencing affirmed in People v. Lucas (ICR9720/E079563)
- Wilfred Lucas participated in a home invasion that resulted in the death of an accomplice and the death of a home resident. In 1986, he was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted robbery and first degree burglary. He filed a petition for resentencing under Penal Code Section 1172.6, which strikes murder convictions for people who had been convicted of murder despite not directly killing the victim. He appealed, arguing that the court erred by relying on parole hearing testimony. The Court of Appeal found that the testimony was sufficient.
