The following excerpt is from People v. Perez, D066231 (Cal. App. 2014):
Before accepting a criminal defendant's admission of a prior conviction, a trial court must advise the defendant of the right to a jury trial on the prior, the right to remain silent, and the right to confront adverse witnesses. (In re Yurko (1974) 10 Cal.3d 857, 863; People v. Mosby (2004) 33 Cal.4th 353, 365, fn. 3 (Mosby) ["Ideally, a defendant admits a prior conviction only after receiving, and expressly waiving, standard advisements of the rights to a trial, to remain silent, and to confront adverse witnesses."].)
