California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ximenez, C049844 (Cal. App. 3/24/2008), C049844 (Cal. App. 2008):
Citing these remarks, defendant asserts that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct by improperly vouching for her witness's credibility. Again, however, defendant's failure to raise an objection in the trial court forfeits any claim of error. (People v. Crew, supra, 31 Cal.4th at p. 839.)
