Does the rule of forfeiture apply to an ex post facto claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Guevara, F065010 (Cal. App. 2013):
We again note defendant did not object to the court's imposition of the restitution fine or raise her ex post facto argument below. The rule of forfeiture is applicable to ex post facto claims, particularly where the alleged error could easily have been corrected if the issue had been raised at the sentencing hearing. (People v. White (1997) 55 Cal.App.4th 914, 917.)
