California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Saxton, B236087 (Cal. App. 2013):

Appellant did not object to any statements in closing argument nor did he request an admonition from the court. Appellant has therefore forfeited this issue on appeal. (People v. Coffman, supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 100.)
