Is there any case law where the trial court's failure to impose a sentence on count two was improper and resulted in an unauthorized sentence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Joe, C078121 (Cal. App. 2016):
1. The trial court's failure to impose a sentence on count two was improper and resulted in an unauthorized sentence. (People v. Alford (2010) 180 Cal.App.4th 1463, 1469, 1473.) Neither party raised this issue on appeal. Since we will vacate the conviction on count two, the issue is moot.
