California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mack, C090694 (Cal. App. 2020):
individuals, including defendant, who served prior prison sentences for nonsexually violent offenses. There is nothing in the bill or its associated legislative history that indicates an intent that the court not apply this amendment to all individuals whose sentences are not yet final. Under these circumstances, we find that Estrada's inference of retroactive application applies. (See, e.g., People v. Nasalga (1996) 12 Cal.4th 784, 797-798 [applying Estrada inference of retroactivity to legislative changes to 12022.6, subds. (a) & (b) enhancements].) Accordingly, we will amend the judgment to strike defendant's two one-year prior prison term enhancements.
