Is there any case law where the abstract of judgment incorrectly recites that a defendant was sentenced to life without possibility of parole for the premeditated and deliberate attempted murder charged in count four?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Martinez, 3 Cal.Rptr.3d 648, 31 Cal.4th 673, 74 P.3d 748 (Cal. 2003):

Defendant observes that the abstract of judgment incorrectly recites that defendant was sentenced to "life without the possibility of parole" for the premeditated and deliberate attempted murder charged in count four. In fact, as the Attorney General acknowledges, the actual sentence was one of life with possibility of parole for this offense. We will order the judgment corrected. (See People v. Scott (1994) 9 Cal.4th 331, 354, 36 Cal.Rptr.2d 627, 885 P.2d 1040.)
