California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. I.A. (In re I.A.), 262 Cal.Rptr.3d 234, 48 Cal.App.5th 767 (Cal. App. 2020):
In his petition, I.A. simply requested that the juvenile court vacate its murder finding. He did not request redesignation of that finding to findings on firearm possession and vandalism, as the Attorney General implies. The court made those findings of its own volition, based on its view of the evidence produced at the contested adjudication. And I.A. challenged those findings as unsupported by the evidence. Any error with those findings thus cannot be attributed to him. The doctrine of invited error is inapplicable. ( Lambert v. General Motors (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 1179, 1183, 79 Cal.Rptr.2d 657 [doctrine inapplicable if defendant neither creates nor foresees error].)
