Does a defendant have grounds to argue that the court erred in permitting the jury to hear evidence of uncharged misconduct?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Riel, 22 Cal.4th 1153, 96 Cal.Rptr.2d 1, 998 P.2d 969 (Cal. 2000):
Defendant contends the court erred in permitting the jury to hear evidence of uncharged misconduct. As he recognizes, with one partial exception, he did not object to this evidence at trial; indeed, he elicited some of it himself. Accordingly, he cannot challenge its admissibility on appeal. (People v. Champion, supra, 9 Cal.4th at p. 918, 39 Cal.Rptr.2d 547, 891 P.2d 93.)
