What is the consequence of failing to raise an authentication objection in the trial court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Wooten, D067115 (Cal. App. 2015):
Wooten forfeited his authentication argument by failing to object on that ground in the trial court. (People v. Williams (1997) 16 Cal.4th 635, 661-662.) He only raised an objection based on hearsay, which was overruled. Wooten contends his hearsay objection preserved his authenticity objection. We are not persuaded.
