Recall and resenttencing for minors convicted of school shootings in California.
California AB1701 allows for the recall and resentencing of individuals who were under 18 at the time of committing a school shooting and were sentenced to life without parole. If incarcerated for at least 15 years, they can petition the court for resentencing. The court must consider mitigating factors such as the defendant's age, lack of adult support, psychological or physical trauma, and cognitive limitations. Victims or their families are notified and can participate in the resentencing hearing. The resentencing cannot result in a sentence greater than the initial one.
