Well, according to the comments by the legislature as they passed the new law, it wasn't supposed to be applied retroactively. This guy still may be screwed.

From the first post: "Presiding Justice Carol Hunstein noted that in easing the penalties for teens, ‘‘the Legislature expressly chose not to allow the provisions of the new amendments to affect persons convicted under the previous version of the statute.’’"
