Is a defendant convicted of two counts of attempted second degree murder in an abstract of judgment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Silva, F066141 (Cal. App. 2014):
The parties agree the abstract of judgment incorrectly states defendant was convicted in counts I and II of "attempt 2nd deg murder." A conviction for attempted murder is not divided into degrees. (People v. Favor (2012) 54 Cal.4th 868, 876.) The abstract of judgment must be corrected to state defendant was convicted in counts I and II of attempted murder, and not attempted second degree murder.
