Changes to Penal Code sections 2933 and 4019
The Criminal Justice Realignment Act
In re C.H. (2011) 53 Cal.4th 94: DJJ commitment is authorized for a sex offense only where the minor also has committed a section 707, subdivision (b) offense. AB 324, effective 2/29/12, amended sections 731 and 733 to permit a DJJ commitment for any case in which a minor has a current or prior true finding for a 707(b) or enumerated sex offense. Attorneys should guard against ex post facto application of this change.
