When will a defendant's objection to testimony at trial be considered on appeal?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Clark, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 554, 3 Cal.4th 41, 833 P.2d 561 (Cal. 1992):

Defendant did not object to this testimony on the ground of Evidence Code sections 352 and 1101. In the absence of a timely and specific [3 Cal.4th 126] objection on the ground sought to be urged on appeal, the trial court's rulings on admissibility of evidence will not be reviewed. (Evid.Code, 353; People v. Green (1980) 27 Cal.3d 1, 22, fn. 8, 164 Cal.Rptr. 1, 609 P.2d 468.) Accordingly, these contentions are not preserved for appeal.
