Sentencing.

Existing law, until January 1, 2022, requires the court to select the term which, in the court's discretion, best serves the interests of justice, when a judgment of imprisonment is to be imposed and the statute specifies three possible terms. Commencing January 1, 2022, existing law requires the court to impose the middle term, unless there are circumstances in aggravation or mitigation of the crime. Existing law requires the fact that the intended victim of an attempted life term crime was a peace officer to be considered a circumstance in aggravation of the crime in imposing a term. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
