Can a defendant plead not guilty to an uncharged charge that is not necessarily included in the alleged crime?

The due process requirement that provides the basis for the inability of a court to convict a defendant of an uncharged offense not included as a lesser offense within the charged offense renders the court Without jurisdiction to convict defendant of a different offense. "When a defendant pleads not guilty, the court lacks jurisdiction to convict him of an offense that is neither charged nor necessarily included in the alleged crime. (Citations.)" (People v. West (1970) 3 Cal.3d 595, 612, 91 Cal.Rptr. 385, 395, 477 P.2d 409, 419.)
