P. v. Thomas II CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Melvin Hiram Thomas II appeals from the trial court’s order denying his Proposition 47 petition seeking to reduce his 2004 felony conviction for receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a)) to a misdemeanor pursuant to section 1170.18.
Defendant claims his Proposition 47 petition was erroneously denied because, in enacting Proposition 47, the voters intended to include all felony theft-related offenses under $950, including convictions for receiving a stolen vehicle (§ 496d) worth $950 or less, within the class of felony convictions eligible to be designated as misdemeanors under Proposition 47.
