The Court of Appeal agreed with the appellant that, given the amendments to Penal Code section 186.22 enacted by Assembly Bill No. 333 (2021–2022 Reg. Sess.)(Stats. 2021, ch. 699, § 3), there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court’s finding that his prior conviction under section 186.22 qualifies as a serious or violent felony conviction for the purposes of strike prior and prior serious felony enhancement allegations. As a result, the matter was remanded to the trial court for retrial on these allegations.
