Does a criminal defendant who fails to object in the trial court to a finding that there is no evidence of his ability to pay a booking fee forfeited his right to raise the claim on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Adams, A139805 (Cal. App. 2014):

'Ordinarily, a criminal defendant who does not challenge an assertedly erroneous ruling of the trial court in that court has forfeited his or her right to raise the claim on appeal.' [Citation.] ' "The purpose of this rule is to encourage parties to bring errors to the attention of the trial court, so that they may be corrected. . . ." ' Additionally, '[i]t is both unfair and inefficient to permit a claim of error on appeal that, if timely brought to the attention of the trial court, could have been easily corrected or avoided.' " (People v. McCullough (2013) 56 Cal.4th 589, 593, 597 [defendant's failure to object in trial court forfeited argument that there was no evidence of his ability to pay booking fee].)
