2025The sentence as orally pronounced would be unauthorized because “[t]o neither strike nor impose a prior prison term enhancement is a legally unauthorized sentence.” (People v. Bradley (1998) 64 Cal.App.4th 386, 390 ; see People v. Scott (1994) 9 Cal.4th 331, 354 [unauthorized sentence is one that cannot lawfully be imposed under any circumstance in the particular case].)

2002(See Province v. Center for Women’s Health & Family Birth, supra, 20 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1678-1679.) “For a juror *1136 to prejudge the case is serious misconduct.” (Clemens v. Regents of University of California (1971) 20 Cal.App.3d 356, 361 [ 97 Cal.Rptr. 589 ].) Thus, where a juror initially failed to disclose his prejudgment of the case during voir dire and subsequently repeated that prejudged position throughout the trial and deliberations, the court found prejudicial misconduct.

2025In fact, defense counsel brought the issue to the court’s attention by objecting to the prosecutor’s argument twice on the ground that it improperly referred to 4 Although a restitution hearing “ ‘does not require the formalities of other phases of a criminal prosecution’ ” (People v.

2023(People v. Czirban (2021) 67 Cal.App.5th 1073 , 1096– 1097.) Nothing in the record rebuts this presumption, especially given that defense counsel cited section 1170, subdivision (b), to the trial court (albeit in a sentencing memorandum and not at the hearing) and submitted letters citing mitigating factors, and the trial court referred to Griffin’s childhood at the hearing.
