People who are still serving their sentences, and who are “at risk of committing” one of the offenses listed above, may also be excluded from Prop 47’s benefits, even if they have no prior convictions for the listed crimes. To be excluded in this way, the District Attorney will file an opposition in response to a defendant’s petition for Prop 47 relief, and will request what is called a “Dangerousness Hearing.” At that hearing, the District Attorney will have to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that a defendant is at risk of committing one of the referenced offenses in the future.
