Supreme Court of California

Sentence for conviction of felony infliction of corporal injury in violation of Pen. Code section 273.5(a) is vacated where defendant's unwarned stipulation to a prior conviction had the direct consequence of subjecting him to a longer prison term and thus the stipulation was invalid under In re Yurko (1974) 10 Cal.3d 857.
