How have courts dealt with sentencing error claims?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Camphor, A151488 (Cal. App. 2020):
11. Although defendant did not object to the sentencing error, we exercise our discretion to consider his claim on the merits to avoid an ineffective assistance of counsel claim and because defendant argues the trial court's error impacts his substantial rights. (See, e.g., People v. Anderson (2020) 9 Cal. 5th 946, 961-963.)
