Is a plaintiff's claim for wrongful death cognizable on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Turner, 10 Cal.5th 786, 272 Cal.Rptr.3d 50, 476 P.3d 676 (Cal. 2020):

First, the claim is not cognizable on appeal because defendant did not object or move to strike the evidence he now challenges. (See People v. Livingston (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1145, 1175, 140 Cal.Rptr.3d 139, 274 P.3d 1132 ; People v. Hamilton (2009) 45 Cal.4th 863, 934, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 286, 200 P.3d 898.) Defendant couches his argument as a challenge to the sufficiency of evidence, noting such claims are generally permitted on appeal

[10 Cal.5th 827]
