Is a defendant's failure to object in the trial court a forfeiture of the confrontation clause issue?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Pollard, B229745 (Cal. App. 2012):
We agree with the Attorney General that defendant's failure to object in the trial court results in forfeiture of the confrontation clause issue. "He did not raise an objection below based upon the confrontation clause, and therefore has forfeited this claim." (People v. Redd (2010) 48 Cal.4th 691, 730.)
