People v. Salmorin
Annotate this CaseDefendant plead no contest to forgery and then petitioned to recall his sentence under Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, Pen. Code, 1170.18. The trial court denied the petition. The court concluded that, while Penal Code section 12022.6 permits a court to aggregate the losses sustained from multiple forgeries for purposes of the enhancement, the statute did not redefine the offense of forgery to include an aggregation principle. The court reversed the judgment, concluding that the trial court erred by aggregating the fact amounts of the forged checks.
