Does the Attorney General have forfeited his confrontation clause claim by failing to raise it below?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gudeon, B267425 (Cal. App. 2017):
The Attorney General argues that defendant has forfeited his confrontation clause claim by failing to raise it below. We agree. Defendant did not assert that the statements he now characterizes as terminating his counsel's cross-examination deprived him of his right of confrontation or was otherwise erroneous. He has therefore forfeited challenges to the statements. (See Evid. Code, 353; People v. Thornton (2007) 41 Cal.4th 391, 427.)
