My husband filed a writ of habus on the same issue of sentencing,he was sentenced to 35yrs in 89 for a robbery and he was resentced 3yrs after his conviction, and given an additional 10+ yrs. - the courts granted him review of his writ. We want to know what will be the next step?
How will all of this pan out?
