California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hamilton, 40 Cal.App.4th 1615, 47 Cal.Rptr.2d 749 (Cal. App. 1995):
1 It is questionable whether appellant may raise this issue on appeal since he not only failed to object in the trial court (People v. Gonzales (1986) 188 Cal.App.3d 586, 590, 233 Cal.Rptr. 204) but bargained for the very sentence he received, a sentence which included his "strike." Since the attorney general does not question this procedural obstacle, we consider the merits.
