In re Vaquera

Summary

The court held that Vaquera’s information did not provide due process notice that the prosecution sought a 25-year-to-life sentence under the One Strike law provision based on the victim’s age. Because the prosecution instead pleaded and initially pursued a 15-year-to-life sentence based on the multiple-victim circumstance, Vaquera was entitled to resentencing, and the court directed that his sentence on count 2 be reduced to 15 years to life.
