California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Soto, H042397 (Cal. App. 2018):
after the murder here was committed.12 Respondent concedes the claim of error. Respondent also concedes that the error is subject to correction as an illegal or unauthorized sentence, notwithstanding the absence of an objection in the trial court. We accept these concessions. (See People v. Flores (2009) 176 Cal.App.4th 1171, 1182; People v. Dotson (1997) 16 Cal.4th 547, 554, fn. 6.)
