Description
Penal Code section 1202.1 provides that upon conviction of certain sex offenses against minors, a defendant shall be ordered "to submit to a blood . . . test for evidence of antibodies to the probable causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)" "if the court finds that there is probable cause to believe that blood, semen, or any other bodily fluid capable of transmitting HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] has been transferred from the defendant to the victim: [¶] . . . [¶] For purposes of this paragraph, the court shall note its finding on the court docket and minute order if one is prepared." (Pen. Code, § 1202.1, subds. (a), (e)(6)(A), (B).) In the companion case of People v. Stowell (Dec. 1, 2003, S108187) ___ Cal.4th ___, we conclude that, absent a timely objection, a defendant may not challenge such an order on appeal for lack of an express finding of probable cause or a notation of such finding in the docket. In this matter, we must determine whether a defendant also forfeits any challenge for insufficiency of the evidence to support a finding of probable cause if he has failed to make an appropriate objection in the trial court.
