Div. Six of this district’s Court of Appeal held Friday that a judgment of conviction became nonfinal when a defendant, who was a minor at the time he committed a murder but was sentenced as an adult, had his sentence conditionally upset on a writ of habeas corpus, rendering him eligible for the benefit of ameliorative laws enacted after imposition of his sentence and after his case had been deemed final.
