Is a defendant's failure to seek a more extensive inquiry of Juror No. 1 a sufficient cause of action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Cristobal, C072061 (Cal. App. 2015):
Defendant's failure to seek, in the trial court, a more extensive inquiry of Juror No. 1 or in any other way to object to the trial court's course of action deprived the trial court of the opportunity to consider arguments for conducting further examination and to avoid or correct any errors. Defendant's omission in the trial court forfeits his appellate claim. (People v. Holloway (2004) 33 Cal.4th 96, 126-127.)
