P. v. Rini
John Rini was convicted of commercial burglary and grand theft. On appeal, Rini argues—and the government concedes—that his conviction for grand theft should be reduced to petty theft because a 2010 amendment of the grand theft statute increased the minimum value of the stolen property from $400 to $950. (Pen. Code, § 487.) We agree that the amendment operates retroactively. Because the evidence does not show that appellant stole $950 worth of property, we reduce appellant’s conviction on count 2 to petty theft. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
