Is a defendant's failure to make a timely and specific objection to the allegation of misconduct forfeited this challenge?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Villalobos, B275993 (Cal. App. 2018):
We agree with respondent that defendant forfeited this challenge by failing to "'make a timely and specific objection to the alleged misconduct and request the jury be admonished to disregard it.' [Citation.]" (People v. Peoples (2016) 62 Cal.4th 718, 797.) Defendant asks that we reach the issue to avoid a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Upon doing so, we find the issue to be without merit.
