In accordance with People v. Strong (2022) 13 Cal.5th 698, the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court’s denial of appellant’s Penal Code section 1172.6 petition for resentencing, holding that, where a petition is otherwise adequate, a pre-Banks/Clark felony-murder special-circumstance finding is not a basis to deny an order to show cause.
