People v. Boyettegreen1 sentence2014Mays states that a further objection would have been futile “given the trial judge’s interjection, ‘It’s a legal standard’ [citation] and subsequent view that the court corrected the error.’ ” (See People v. Boyette (2002) 29 Cal.4th 381, 432 [a defendant will be excused from the necessity of timely objecting and/or requesting an admonition if either would be futile].) To the contrary, the court demonstrated its willingness to correct the mischaracterization of the 8 presumption of innocence as a legal fiction and we have no reason to believe that the court would not have corrected other error | 1 | 1 |

Myles (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1181, 1222, fn. 14 .)1 1 According to Garcia’s attorney on appeal, the trial court corrected the error in the abstract of judgment reflecting the imposition of the upper term rather than the middle term as the base term for driving or taking a vehicle with a prior felony theft conviction involving a vehicle. 3 DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed. | 1 | 1 |

Johnson (1980) 26 Cal.3d 557, 578 .) To be “ ‘substantial,’ ” the evidence must be of ponderable legal significance and reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value. | 1 | 2026–2026 |
In Re Walker
green
1 sentence2025(Boyd, supra, 103 Cal.App.5th at pp. 61, 72, 74.) Relying on In re Sandel (1966) 64 Cal.2d 412 and In re Walker (1974) 10 Cal.3d 764 , the Boyd court explained that, the fact 10 “[t]hat some part of a sentence is unauthorized does not necessarily mean that the entire sentence (or even part of the sentence) must be vacated.” (Boyd, at p. 72.) In both cases, our high court ordered unauthorized portions of sentences modified without requiring a full resentencing. | 1 | 2025–2025 |
Apprendi v. New Jersey
green
1 sentence2025Dabney. 6 The trial court corrected an error in the minute order nunc pro tunc on September 21, 2023, clarifying that the aggregate sentence was 13 years four months, which is also reflected in the abstract of judgment. 6 On November 9, 2023 Singleton filed a motion for reconsideration and request to correct an “[i]llegal [s]entence,” in which he argued the modified sentence violated his due process rights under Apprendi v. New Jersey (2000) 530 U.S. 466 by increasing his sentence without a jury finding of the facts necessary to find section 1170.15 applied. | 1 | 2025–2025 |

People v. Hovarter
green
1 sentence2015That the jury understood and followed the court’s corrected instruction is not just the rebuttable presumption required by the law (People v. Hovarter (2008) 44 Cal.4th 983, 1005 ); it is also shown by the verdicts. | 1 | 2015–2015 |

People v. Howard

1 sentence2008This was so, the habeas corpus court concluded, because “[u]nder the authority of People versus Howard[, supra, 16 Cal.4th at p. 1088 ], tire [trial court] only could have ordered into execution the three-year suspended prison term.” Thus, the habeas corpus court deemed the GBI enhancement to have “been stricken,” and ordered into effect the middle term of three years previously imposed but suspended for the felony assault conviction. | 1 | 2008–2008 |
