Does the Attorney General have the authority to grant an appeal against a claim against defendant who failed to properly raise an objection to the disputed evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Smith, B236611 (Cal. App. 2013):
The Attorney General argues that these claims were forfeited because they were not properly raised below. The record supports the Attorney General's position. We conclude that because defendant did not raise a timely and specific objection to the disputed evidence, he failed to preserve the claims for appeal. (People v. Samuels (2005) 36 Cal.4th 96, 122.)
