California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Romero, 191 Cal.Rptr.3d 855, 354 P.3d 983, 62 Cal.4th 1 (Cal. 2015):
Self did not object to the prosecutor's statements or seek an admonition, and no exception to the general rule requiring an objection and request for admonition is applicable. The claim is therefore forfeited. (People v. Samayoa (1997) 15 Cal.4th 795, 841, 64 Cal.Rptr.2d 400, 938 P.2d 2 (Samayoa ).)
