California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hernandez, A144628 (Cal. App. 2018):
In the present case, appellant did not object on this ground in the trial court. He has therefore forfeited the issue on appeal. (See, e.g., People v. Seijas (2005) 36 Cal.4th 291, 301.) Appellant argues, however, that if the issue is forfeited, defense counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the issue below. (See Strickland, supra, 466 U.S. at pp. 688, 694.)
