Does the failure to object and request admonition constitute prosecutorial misconduct?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Mora, H034045, No. SS072399A (Cal. App. 2010):
Again, this claim of prosecutorial misconduct was not preserved for review on appeal because defense counsel did not object. (People v. Dykes (2009) 46 Cal.4th 731, 773.) The record does not show that the failure to object and request an admonition was excused.
