Supreme Court of California

Proceedings in a juvenile case are abated due to the defendant's death, but pursuant to its inherent authority the court finds that: 1) defendant's claim that a probation condition imposed on her was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad was not forfeited by her failure to raise it in juvenile court; and 2) in the absence of an express requirement of knowledge, the probation condition requiring that she "not associate with anyone disapproved of by probation" was unconstitutionally vague.
