The following excerpt is from People v. King, C076437 (Cal. App. 2015):
4. "As a general matter, when a trial court denies a motion without prejudice the matter is forfeited if not renewed. [Citation.]" (People v. Mills (2010) 48 Cal.4th 158, 170.) Because King claims denial of the requested instructions denied him the substantial right of due process, the forfeiture rule does not apply. ( 1259.)
