California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tyler, E071094 (Cal. App. 2019):
However, "in light of the presumption on a silent record that the trial court is aware of the applicable law, including statutory discretion at sentencing, we cannot presume error where the record does not establish on its face that the trial court misunderstood the scope of that discretion. [Citations.]" (People v. Gutierrez (2009) 174 Cal.App.4th 515, 527.)
