Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

how can I go about getting my husband who was sentenced to 25 yr doing 80% of his time for a $31.00 bottle of alcohol. they gave him that much time based on his priors but he was off parole. the called his case a wobbler so based on the new law that just passed how can I get him out or get a sentence modification done. The law that I am referring to is the prop G I think the one where they have to let non-violent offenders based on the budget. Do you think that he could have a chance under this law
