Does a failure to object waives a claim of inadequate notice of criminal charges?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Olivas, E061974 (Cal. App. 2016):
At no point during trial did defendant argue that the offenses presented at trial were not the same ones shown at the preliminary hearing. A failure to object waives a claim of inadequate notice of the charges. (People v. Gil (1992) 3 Cal.App.4th 653, 659.) Moreover, even if defendant had preserved this claim for appeal, the claim lacks merit.
