P. v. Feliz
On August 25, 2008, appellant Richard Ray Feliz was convicted of the 1994 murder of Shiloh Rodriguez. (Pen. Code,[1] 187, subd. (a).) The jury also found that Feliz had used a dangerous weapon in the commission of the offense. ( 12022, subd. (b)(1).) Although Feliz initially was arrested as a suspect at the time of the murder, he was not charged until much later in January 2007 after DNA evidence tied him to the murder. Felizs first trial resulted in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. After the conviction in the second trial, the trial court sentenced Feliz to a term of 25 years to life, plus one year for the dangerous-weapon enhancement. Credit of 654 days was awarded for time served with no good-time/work-time credit awarded pursuant to the limit imposed by section 2933.2.
