California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Townsend, F072456 (Cal. App. 2018):
As an initial matter, appellant failed to object to the prosecutor's argument in the trial court, resulting in a forfeiture of any claim of prosecutorial misconduct on appeal. (People v. Virgil (2011) 51 Cal.4th 1210, 1260.) In any event, this claim also fails on its merits.
