People v. Cardona, No. F054344

A sentence for multiple sex crimes pursuant to a ruling that defendant was not a fit and proper subject to be dealt with under the juvenile court law, and instead was to be sentenced under the general law of California is affirmed as Apprendi and its progeny do not apply and defendant forfeited any due process claim by failing either to raise it or object to the procedures used.
