Does the Attorney General have forfeited the issue on appeal for failing to object to fines and fees in the trial court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sotelo, H045989 (Cal. App. 2019):
Typically, a failure to object to fines and fees in the trial court forfeits the issue on appeal. (See People v. Aguilar (2015) 60 Cal.4th 862, 864.) The Attorney General argues that defendant has forfeited his argument because he did not object below. Defendant disagrees and urges us not to find forfeiture.
