California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Cooper, C050697 (Cal. App. 5/16/2007), C050697 (Cal. App. 2007):
(2) Defendant's claim that her admission was not knowingly entered is a challenge to the validity of that admission. As such, a certificate of probable cause for the challenge is required. (Pen.
