The following excerpt is from People v. Sandoval, B301530 (Cal. App. 2020):
3. Although Sandoval acknowledges that the trial court's sentencing decisions are reviewed for abuse of discretion, he notes (correctly) that a court necessarily abuses its discretion if it erroneously applies the law. (People v. Sandoval (2007) 41 Cal.4th 825, 847.)
