My son was sentenced resentenced back in *. The oral pronouncement was 4 years but the written judgment was 40 years. The 2nd DCA vacated the 40 year sentence and sent the case back to clarify. The judge resentenced him to 40 years but it wasn't a nunc pro tunc proceeding nor was it ever mentioned on record
