The following excerpt is from People v. Perez, B258736 (Cal. App. 2015):
To begin, defendant forfeited this argument because he did not object to Sergeant Eads's answer or move to strike it. (People v. Dykes (2009) 46 Cal.4th 731, 756-757.) Defendant argues that his lack of objection should be excused because (1) objection is not necessary when a prosecutor engages in misconduct, and Sergeant Eads is considered part of the "prosecution team" under Brady v. Maryland (1963) 373 U.S. 83, and (2) defense counsel was constitutionally ineffective.
