In People v. Knox (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 757, the defendant was charged with sex offenses against three victims and placed on notice that the prosecution was seeking one strike sentencing. As to each victim, the information alleged one qualifying circumstance, i.e., firearm use, thus, making the defendant eligible for a sentence of 15 year to life as to each victim. The information did not allege the additional qualifying circumstance that the crimes were committed against multiple victims. Nonetheless, the trial court, noting the jury necessarily found crimes against multiple victims, imposed terms of 25 years to life based on findings of multiple circumstances rather than 15 years to life terms applicable to a finding of a single circumstance. The Knox court found that any failure to plead the additional multiple victim circumstance harmless. It observed that all facts necessary for that finding were pled. It noted there was no suggestion the case would have been defended differently had the additional circumstance been included in the information. It stated the defendant was aware that he was charged with qualifying sex crimes against multiple victims. Finally it noted the jury necessarily found the facts supporting the unpled circumstance, i.e., multiple victims. (Knox, supra, 74 Cal.App.4th at p. 757.)
