Does a defendant have a claim that allowing a juror to take home the jury instructions violated her constitutional right to a jury trial?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Hughes, No. C060242 (Cal. App. 4/14/2010), No. C060242. (Cal. App. 2010):

Defendant also claims the denial of her motion to continue the trial violated her constitutional right to a jury trial. Defendant failed to raise this objection in the trial court. Accordingly, she has forfeited the claim on appeal. (People v. Ledesma (2006) 39 Cal.4th 641, 729 [claim that allowing juror to take home the jury instructions violated defendant's constitutional right to a jury trial was forfeited because defendant failed to raise the objection in the trial court].)
