What is the appropriate sentence for a defendant who is convicted of attempted murder and has a firearm enhancement?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Holley, C073773 (Cal. App. 2015):
Since the original sentencing proceeding, the trial court corrected the unauthorized sentence, as it had the authority to do (see generally People v. Nelms (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 1465, 1471-1472), by entering an amended judgment sentencing defendant to five years on the attempted murder count, plus the consecutive 25 to life term for the firearm enhancement. This sentence is authorized.
