Does the forfeiture rule apply to a defendant's failure to challenge the imposition of probation costs?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Neal, E063240 (Cal. App. 2017):
Preliminarily, defendant recognizes that the failure to object to the probation costs "may have forfeited the issue." The forfeiture rule does, indeed, apply to a defendant's failure to challenge the court's imposition of probation costs. (People v. Trujillo (2015) 60 Cal.4th 850, 858.) Because defendant asserts the omission amounted to ineffective assistance, we review the merits of the challenge.
