Does Counsel's failure to object to either instruction or instruction to the jury at trial affect a claim against Reed's counsel?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Reed, A135971 (Cal. App. 2015):
Reed's counsel did not object to either instruction. Counsel's failure to object to the jury instruction at trial has forfeited the claim, (See People v. Valdez, supra, 32 Cal.4th at p.113.), but the claim also fails on its merits.
