2026(Cook, at p. 452.) Although defendant originally sought a Franklin hearing by filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus, as Cook explained, habeas corpus was not the proper procedure in the first instance. ( Cook, supra, 7 Cal.5th at pp. 457–458.) Accordingly, the court’s order denying the habeas petition did not bar the court from ruling on defendant’s subsequent Franklin motion, which was properly raised under section 1203.01 and Cook.

Superior Court (Lara) (2018) 4 Cal.5th 299 , 304–305 (Lara).) Proposition 57, however, eliminated the ability of prosecutors to file charges against juveniles directly in a court of criminal jurisdiction (adult court).

2020At the Franklin hearing, the trial court also entertained defendant’s “Motion to Remand under SB 1391” and ruled that “without any guidance, other than the [People v. Superior Court (Lara) (2018) 4 Cal.5th 299 ] Court’s ruling, I do not believe I’m in a position to grant the motion.” The court then “den[ied] the request to return this to juvenile court.” The majority concludes that Senate Bill No. 1391 did not apply to defendant’s indisputably final judgment; thus, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to grant defendant the requested relief.
