^4. Although not renewed during trial, defendant's objection made in limine was sufficient to preserve the issue of admissibility for appeal. (See People v. Morris (1991) 53 Cal.3d 152, 190, disapproved on another point by People v. Stansbury (1995) 9 Cal.4th 824, 830, fn. 1 [specific objection made to identifiable body of evidence clearly and unequivocally denied with no subsequent basis for reconsideration need not be renewed to preserve objection on appeal].)
