What is the test for establishing that a finding of unfitness is sufficient to grant jurisdiction to the superior court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Browning, 119 Cal.Rptr. 420, 45 Cal.App.3d 125 (Cal. App. 1975):
12 The People rely chiefly on People v. Machado, 150 Cal.App.2d 190, 196, 309 P.2d 903. That case is not as persuasive as they argue, since no part of the juvenile court proceedings except the finding of unfitness was before the lower court. Strictly read Machado simply holds that the finding was all that was necessary to confer jurisdiction on the superior court. It did not say what powers that court had in exercising it.
