Does the abstract of judgment list the crime in count 2 as assault w/deadly weapon?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Leondes, E063973 (Cal. App. 2016):
The abstract of judgment lists the crime in count 2 as "assault w/deadly weapon." However, defendant was convicted of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury. The abstract of judgment should be corrected to accurately reflect the jury's verdict. (People v. Mitchell (2001) 26 Cal.4th 181, 185 [a court has the power to correct clerical errors in records to reflect the true facts at any time].)
