“may well have been erroneous, and perhaps constituted an abuse of discretion justifying reversal ... it was not void ab initio. " ( Ibid. ) The Court of Appeal concluded that "the trial court's order granting a new trial exhausted its authority on that issue, and the People's remedy was to pursue the appellate rights provided by statute [citation] rather than seek to vacate the previously entered order.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[a]n order on a motion for new trial may be reconsidered (1) where the ruling is immediately reconsidered before it has been fixed by entry in the minutes and before any further proceedings have transpired [citation]; (2) in a furcated trial, where certain policy considerations render the general rule inapplicable [citation]; or (3) where the order is entered inadvertently or prematurely [citation].”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“failed to perform its duty independently to reweigh the evidence, and also failed to provide the People with their due process right to be heard on the merits.”
