Does a defendant have to object to an instruction that states that a plaintiff has a valid claim against the appellant?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Daniels, F064237 (Cal. App. 2014):
11. Appellant's failure to object to this instruction during trial did not result in forfeiture of the issue because "'a defendant need not object to preserve a challenge to an instruction that incorrectly states the law and affects his or her substantial rights.' [Citation.]" (People v. Tuggles (2009) 179 Cal.App.4th 339, 364.)
