The following excerpt is from The People v. Acuna, B215134, No. VA100746 (Cal. App. 2010):
Although defense counsel objected to many of the acts of purported misconduct, this was insufficient to preserve the claims for review because counsel did not adequately articulate the grounds of the objections or request that the jury be admonished. Accordingly, defendant's claims of prosecutorial misconduct have been forfeited for purposes of review. (People v. Miller (1990) 50 Cal.3d 954, 1001.) Even if defendant's failure to preserve these claims for review is ignored, we reject all the claims on the merits.
