Case 000980

Error and/or relief

The abstract of judgment reflects the wrong section for what the defendant was convicted of, and must be corrected.

Holding:

There are clerical errors in the abstract of judgment. Section 1 incorrectly indicates that for count 3, the defendant was convicted under section 451b) for the crime of arson of an inhabited structure or property. For that count, the jury actually convicted the defendant of arson of property of another pursuant to section 451(d). We will direct the superior court to correct both the code section and the description of the crime.

Authority:
