Does the abstract of judgment need to be modified to accurately reflect the oral pronouncement of the trial court regarding the prohibition on visitation between defendant and Doe?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Arevalo, H041071 (Cal. App. 2016):

Defendant argues, and the People concede, that the abstract of judgment must be modified to accurately reflect the trial court's oral pronouncement regarding the prohibition on visitation between defendant and Doe under section 1202.5, subdivision (a). Generally, where there is a discrepancy between the abstract of judgment and the oral pronouncement of judgment, the oral pronouncement will control. (People v. Mitchell (2001) 26 Cal.4th 181, 185.)
