Does Defendant have to make a specific objection to the admission of evidence or exclusion of evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Robertson, C080826 (Cal. App. 2020):
In the trial court, the only objection defendant arguably raised relative to his January 2012 conviction for battery with serious bodily injury was a constitutional one. Defendant has thus forfeited this new claim on appeal. (See People v. Marks (2003) 31 Cal.4th 197, 228 [objection to admission of evidence or exclusion of evidence must be made in the trial court and it must be specific in order to preserve the issue for appeal].)
