Is a sentence that does not contain a detailed recitation of all fees, fines and penalties on the record valid?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Harville, D068707 (Cal. App. 2016):
constitutes an unauthorized sentence, which may be corrected by an appellate court even in the absence of an objection or argument below. (People v. Turner (2002) 96 Cal.App.4th 1409, 1413-1415.) Accordingly, we must remand the matter to the trial court to rectify its failure to provide a "detailed recitation of all the fees, fines and penalties on the record," including their amounts and statutory bases. (People v. High (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 1192, 1200.)
