Does appellant have a right to challenge the admissibility of his statements?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Jesus T. (In re Jesus T.), G051098 (Cal. App. 2016):
2. Although appellant forfeited his right to challenge the admissibility of his statements by failing to challenge them in the trial court (People v. Rundle (2008) 43 Cal.4th 76, 116), we will consider his arguments because he contends his trial attorney was ineffective for failing to do so (People v. Roberts (2011) 195 Cal.App.4th 1106, 1130).
