P. v. McNair
In his second appeal after his original sentence was vacated,[1] defendant and appellant Lavance McNair (defendant) contends that because he was resentenced January 19, 2012, the trial court should have sentenced him to local custody under the recently enacted Criminal Justice Realignment Act of 2011 (Realignment Act or Act), which applies prospectively only to those sentenced on or after October 1, 2011.[2] Respondent contends that acceptance of defendant’s position would contravene the Legislature’s intent that the Act apply prospectively. We affirm the judgment.
