The opinion
*167 NEWMAN, J., Dissenting.
To forbid unequal sentences and at the same time permit unequal confinements accords too much deference, I believe, to the word “rehabilitation.” The discretion allowed appears to me to be almost unconfined and vagrant. (Cf. my dis. opns. in In re Eric J. (1979) 25 Cal.3d 522, 538 [ 159 Cal.Rptr. 317 , 601 P.2d 549 ]; People v. Saffell (1979) 25 Cal.3d 223, 235 [ 157 Cal.Rptr. 897 , 599 P.2d 92 ]; People v. Sage (1980) 26 Cal.3d 498, 511 [ 165 Cal.Rptr. 280 , 611 P.2d 874 ].)
