Does section 1170 of the Criminal Code apply to a defendant's right to appeal against his sentence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Brame, F062617 (Cal. App. 2013):
Brame also argues that the court's failure to follow section 1170's statutory command violated his right to due process at sentencing. He relies on Hicks v. Oklahoma (1980) 447 U.S. 343 (Hicks) for his argument. There is no merit to this argument.
