California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Van Scott v. Superior Court (People), 170 Cal.App.3d 365, 216 Cal.Rptr. 47 (Cal. App. 1985):
3 We need not consider the Attorney General's argument, rejected in Panos v. Superior Court, supra, 156 Cal.App.3d 626, 629-630, 203 Cal.Rptr. 115, that a conviction on the earlier offense need not even be proved at trial on the later offense. The issue presented to us concerns only proof at the preliminary examination.
