California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Ford, C055058 (Cal. App. 4/18/2008), C055058 (Cal. App. 2008):

Defendant remained silent in the face of the court's denial of his Romero motion, making no objection to either the decision or the reasoning given by the court. As a result, his claim is forfeited on appeal. (People v. Walker (1991) 54 Cal.3d 1013, 1023; People v.
