People v. Washington
Annotate this CaseUnder Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhood and Schools Act, a petitioner has the initial burden of showing the value of the stolen property did not exceed $950. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's denial of a petition for reclassification under Proposition 47, asking that defendant's second degree burglary conviction be reclassified as a misdemeanor. The court held that petitioner's statement that the value of the stolen property did not exceed $950 was sufficient to meet his prima facie burden under Proposition 47 with respect to the value of the stolen goods in question. The court remanded for further proceedings.
