Does Section 2933.2 of the California Probation Code apply to a convicted murderer?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Johnson, D073338 (Cal. App. 2020):

Section 2933.2 subdivision (a) states: "Notwithstanding Section 2933.1 or any other law, any person who is convicted of murder . . . shall not accrue any credit, as specified in Section 2933 or Section 2933.05." Section 2933.2 subdivision (c) states: "Notwithstanding Section 4019 or any other provision of law, no credit pursuant to Section 4019 may be earned against a period of confinement in, or commitment to, a county jail, industrial farm, or road camp, or a city jail, industrial farm, or road camp, following arrest for any person specified in subdivision (a)." Section 2933.2 is an exception to the general presentence custody credit scheme. It denies such credits to convicted murderers. (People v. Chism (2014) 58 Cal.4th 1266, 1336.)
