California v. Zorich
Annotate this CaseDefendant David Zorich appealed a trial court’s order denying his petition for recall and resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.18. He was originally convicted (as relevant here) for grand theft of an automobile, and unlawfully taking and driving a vehicle. Defendant argued the trial court lacked substantial evidence to deny his petition because he submitted admissible evidence about the value of the vehicle in question and the prosecution submitted nothing other than an assertion that the vehicle was worth more than $1000. To this, the Court of Appeal agreed, finding substantial evidence did not support the trial court’s ruling. Accordingly, judgment was reversed and the matter remanded for further proceedings.
