Does Counsel's failure to object to the imposition of a presentence report and a booking fee affect defendant's ability to pay the fees?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Baeza-Pacheco, A153096 (Cal. App. 2018):
As defendant recognizes, "counsel's failure to object below means that neither of these issues are preserved for review by this court." (People v. Trujillo (2015) 60 Cal.4th 850, 858 [forfeiture of ability-to-pay claim as to presentence report fee]; People v. McCullough (2013) 56 Cal.4th 589, 597 [forfeiture of ability-to-pay claim as to booking fee].) We conclude defendant forfeited his contention by failing to object to the imposition of the fees.
