Does a defendant have to forfeit his claim of prosecutorial misconduct for comments made by a prosecutor in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Scalise, C084300 (Cal. App. 2018):
Defendant did not object to any of the prosecutor's comments. To the extent any of the comments were objectionable, they could easily have been cured by an admonition from the judge. (People v. Cunningham (2001) 25 Cal.4th 926, 1002.) Accordingly, defendant forfeited his claims of prosecutorial misconduct. (People v. Huggins (2006) 38 Cal.4th 175, 205.)
