California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rivera, 162 Cal.App.3d 141, 207 Cal.Rptr. 756 (Cal. App. 1984):
6 "Serious felonies" are defined in section 1192.7, subdivision (c), also added by the initiative. Assault with intent to commit rape, the prior felony involved here and burglary of a residence, appellant's present offense, are "serious felonies."
7 Accordingly, we disagree with People v. Whigam (1984, 4th Dist.) 158 Cal.App.3d 1161, 205 Cal.Rptr. 227.
