Can a defendant argue that a trial court erroneously overruled an evidentiary objection?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Turner, H039304 (Cal. App. 2015):
10. Defendant has not established that the trial court erroneously overruled a timely and specific evidentiary objection and, consequently, she is not in the position to argue the asserted error in admitting the evidence over proper objection "had the additional legal consequence of violating due process." (People v. Partida (2005) 37 Cal.4th 428, 435.)
