People v. Carmony

2 sentences2016Observing that “because defendant did not evade or intend to evade law enforcement officers, his offense was the most technical and harmless violation of the registration law we have seen” ([Carmony II, supra,] 127 Cal.App.4th at p. 1078 ), the majority opinion in Carmony II concluded that, notwithstanding the defendant’s record of serious prior offenses, the imposition of a 25-year-to-life sentence was grossly disproportionate to the gravity of the defendant’s offenses and violated the constitutional prohibition of cruel and/or unusual punishment.” ( Coley, supra, 55 Cal.4th at pp. 529-530.) 2014For example, in People v. Carmony (2005) 127 Cal.App.4th 1066, 1078 , the Court of Appeal described defendant's triggering offense, failing to adequately register as a sex offender, as "the most technical and harmless violation of the registration law we have seen." In contrast, True's current conviction for active gang participation (§ 186.22, subd. (a)) based on a gang-related assault was far from "technical" or "harmless." 17 In Ramirez v. Castro (9th Cir. 2004) 365 F.3d 755 , the defendant's prior criminal record was "comprised solely of two 1991 convictions for second-degree robbery" (id. | 4 | 2009–2016 |

The Court reasoned: “The conduct of petitioner in this case, as found by the trial court, is clearly distinguishable in a significant respect from the conduct of the defendant in Carmony II. | 1 | 2016–2016 |
