2026In view of the trial court’s familiarity with the facts of the case and the parties; the inexplicable nature of the crime; defendant’s conduct in jail, which included 14 fights by the time of the sentencing hearing; and the court’s express consideration of mitigating factors, which included defendant’s youth and his insignificant prior criminal record, aggravating factors, and public safety considerations, defense counsel may well have reasonably determined that either objecting to the exercise of the court’s sentencing discretion or requesting a more specific sentencing record as to the issue

People v. Stowell green

1 sentence

2025We assume the trial court was aware of and followed applicable law (People v. Stowell (2003) 31 Cal.4th 1107, 1114 ), particularly since Cervantes’s trial counsel cited section 1385 and this mitigating factor in her sentencing brief and the court stated at sentencing it had reviewed her brief.

2025Thus, even when the trial court has indicated its sentence, the court retains its full discretion at the sentencing hearing to select a fair and just punishment.” (People v. Clancey, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 576 , italics added.) From the record before us, it appears clear that, at the time of the sentencing hearing, the trial court concluded that probation was not appropriate.

2025(People v. Morrison (2019) 34 Cal.App.5th 217 , 222–223.) By the time of the sentencing hearing, another appellate court had disagreed and concluded that sentencing courts lacked discretion to impose lesser enhancements that had not been found true.

2025(People v. Tirado (2019) 38 Cal.App.5th 637 , 643–644, revd. and sub. opn. by Tirado, supra, 12 Cal.5th 688 .) (The California Supreme Court later granted review in that case and ultimately agreed with Morrison in Tirado, supra, 12 Cal.5th at p. 697.) But it would not have been “futile or wholly unsupported by substantive law then in existence” for defendant to request at the time of sentencing that the court strike or dismiss the 25- years-to-life enhancements and impose lesser ones.
