“illegal sentences and other serious, patent sentencing errors.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If a goal of criminal appeal reform is efficiency, we are hard pressed to argue that this court should not order correction of an illegal sentence or a facial conflict between oral and written sentences on a direct appeal when we have jurisdiction over other issues. Although it is preferable for the trial courts to correct their own sentencing errors, little is gained if the appellate courts require prisoners to file, and trial courts to process, more postconviction motions to correct errors that can be safely identified on direct appeal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We read the first sentence [of section 924.051(3)] as an effort to restrict our jurisdiction over the case. An appeal `may not be taken,' i.e., the appellate court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal, unless a prejudicial error is either preserved or fundamental.”
