v. (Super. Ct. No. FWV1500187)
JACOBY LEKYLL OPINION CAMPBELLJANKANS,
Defendant and Appellant.
Appeal from a postjudgment order of the Superior Court of San Bernardino County, Bridgid M. McCann, Judge. Affirmed. Marta I. Stanton, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Lance E. Winters, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Charles C. Ragland, Assistant Attorney General, Christopher P. Beesley and Michael D. Butera, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
1 In 2016, Jacoby Lekyll Campbell-Jankans, after being charged with murder, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and a handful of other charges. He appeals the denial of his petition for resentencing under 2 Penal Code section 1172.6. In its prima facie review of the petition, the trial court found Campbell-Jankans was ineligible for relief because he could not show he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter under now-invalid theories of felony murder or the natural and probable consequences doctrine. Campbell-Jankans argues the trial court erred in its denial because it engaged in impermissible factfinding at the prima facie stage. Specifically, he claims the court improperly considered the transcript of the preliminary hearing. The California Supreme Court recently rejected this argument in People v. Patton (2025) 17 Cal.5th 549 (Patton). Because we find the preliminary hearing transcript contained unchallenged, relief-foreclosing facts to refute the checkbox allegations in Campbell-Jankans’ petition, we affirm the court’s postjudgment order. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY On January 23, 2015, a first amended felony complaint was filed against Campbell-Jankans, accusing him of murdering Alicia Igou on April 28, 2014. In connection with the murder count, the complaint alleged
