Erroneous sentence; nature; correction
Sec. 15. If the convicted person is erroneously sentenced, the
mistake does not render the sentence void. The sentence shall be
corrected after written notice is given to the convicted person. The
convicted person and his counsel must be present when the corrected
sentence is ordered. A motion to correct sentence must be in writing
and supported by a memorandum of law specifically pointing out the
defect in the original sentence.
As added by P.L.311-1983, SEC.3.
