California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. HOLTMAN, No. C061457, No. NCR70759 (Cal. App. 2010):
In any event, defendant has forfeited his claim that probation was improperly terminated because the trial court did not make a finding that he was either a danger to others or unamenable to treatment. People v.
