California Supreme Court

People v. Orozco

March 26, 2020260 Cal. Rptr. 3d 433

Summary

The court held that Proposition 47's amendment reducing punishment for receiving stolen property worth $950 or less did not apply to convictions for receiving a stolen vehicle under Penal Code section 496d. The court reasoned that the amendment expressly changed section 496(a), left section 496d unchanged, and did not create a value threshold or otherwise reclassify section 496d offenses. The judgment affirming the felony conviction was affirmed.
