The following excerpt is from People v. Perry, B260958 (Cal. App. 2016):
The Attorney General contends defendant's failure to object results in a forfeiture of this claim, as "'[g]enerally, a party may not complain on appeal that an instruction correct in law and responsive to the evidence was too general or incomplete unless the party has requested appropriate clarifying or amplifying language.' [Citations.]" (People v. Catlin (2001) 26 Cal.4th 81, 149.) However, because defendant argues that the instruction was legally incorrect, we will proceed to the merits of his claim.
