P. v. Guillen
When defendant and appellant Jose Guillen (defendant or Guillen) was 17 years old, he and three adults committed an armed robbery during which defendant personally shot and killed one of the two victims. A jury convicted him of first degree special circumstance murder, and in 2009, the trial court sentenced him to life without the possibility of parole (LWOP). We affirmed the judgment and the California Supreme Court denied review. The United States Supreme Court thereafter granted defendant’s petition for writ of certiorari, vacated his judgment, and remanded the case to this court for further consideration in light of Miller v. Alabama (2012) 567 U.S. __ [132 S.Ct. 2455] (Miller). (Guillen v. California (2012) 567 U.S. __ [133 S.Ct. 69].)[1]
