The following excerpt is from People v. WALLACE, 189 P.3d 911, 44 Cal.4th 1032, 81 Cal.Rptr.3d 651 (Cal. 2009):
The defense preserves a claim of prosecutorial misconduct for appeal by making a timely objection at trial and asking the court to admonish the jury. ( People v. Earp, supra, 20 Cal.4th at p. 858, 85 Cal.Rptr.2d 857, 978 P.2d 15; People v. Price, supra, 1 Cal.4th at p. 447, 3 Cal.Rptr.2d 106, 821 P.2d 610.) [O]therwise, the point is reviewable only if an admonition would not have cured the harm caused by the misconduct. ( People v. Earp, supra, 20 Cal.4th at p. 858, 85 Cal.Rptr.2d 857, 978 P.2d 15.)
