Smith v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• when sentencing the defendant for forgery in the first degree, the court was not authorized to order the defendant to pay for damages that were solely caused by a prior burglary in an adjacent county
• defendant’s acquiescence to an illegal sentence, either through plea negotiations or failure to object to the sentence, cannot render an otherwise illegal sentence valid through waiver, because a void sentence in law amounts to no sentence at all
