California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Charfauros, D064666 (Cal. App. 2015):
' ". . . 'defendant's failure to make a timely and specific objection' on the ground asserted on appeal makes that ground not cognizable." ' " (People v. Demetrulias (2006) 39 Cal.4th 1, 20.) On appeal, a party "may not argue that the court should have excluded the evidence for a reason different from his trial objection." (People v. Partida (2005) 37 Cal.4th 428, 435.)
