The following excerpt is from People v. Bautista, G044045 (Cal. App. 2012):
Appellant contends the trial court erred in admitting his police statements into evidence because the officers took his statement without giving the standard Miranda advisement. As appellant concedes, the issue was waived because counsel failed to object. (People v. Farnam (2002) 28 Cal.4th 107, 153.) Alternatively, appellant claims his attorney was ineffective for failing to seek exclusion of his police statements. However, this claim is also meritless.
