California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Navas, C050654 (Cal. App. 12/12/2006), C050654 (Cal. App. 2006):
In any event, petitioner cannot show prejudice. The trial court explained the contours of the plea, including both the admission of guilt to one count, the dismissal of another with a Harvey waiver and the admission to two strikes, and then advised petitioner and took waivers of his Boykin-Tahl rights (Boykin v. Alabama (1969) 395 U.S. 238 [23 L.Ed.2d 274]; In re Tahl (1969) 1 Cal.3d 122).
