flag Andy Williams, 39, seeks resentencing for 2001 school shooting, citing rehabilitation, but prosecutors say he’s ineligible due to parole-eligible sentence.

flag Andy Williams, 39, who was 15 when he killed two students and injured 13 in the 2001 Santana High School shooting, is seeking resentencing under a California law allowing juveniles with life sentences to petition for review after 25 years. flag His attorney argues he qualifies due to remorse and rehabilitation, but prosecutors say he’s ineligible because his 50-years-to-life sentence allows parole, unlike life-without-parole terms. flag The state parole board previously denied his release in 2024, citing the crime’s severity. flag If the court finds him eligible, his case could return to juvenile court for a new disposition. flag Survivors and victims’ families remain opposed to his potential release.
