People v. Faial

Summary

The court held that Assembly Bill 1950 applies retroactively to a defendant whose probation was revoked and terminated before the statute took effect, when the order terminating probation and executing the suspended sentence was still on appeal and therefore not final. The statute shortened the defendant's probation term to two years from the date probation was imposed, so conduct occurring after that period could not support revocation or execution of the suspended sentence. The court reversed the Court of Appeal's judgment and remanded.
