Felony Murder Rule Resentencing
In 2019, California repealed the felony murder rule, making tens of thousands of presently incarcerated people eligible for relief under the new Cal. Pen. Code 1172.6.
Writs & Appeals
Conviction and sentencing may feel like the end of the line, but there are a number of remedies still available. Every convicted person is entitled to an appeal.
