Is there a waiver of attorney-client privilege when a defendant fails to make a proper objection at trial?

Quincy misconstrues the nature of the attorney-client privilege. The privilege is not a blanket one, but applies only to specific communications. A defendant cannot assert a general attorney-client privilege but must make a specific objection to particular questions calling for privileged information. United States v. Gurtner, 474 F.2d 297, 299 (9th Cir.1973). Failure to object at trial constitutes a waiver of the privilege. Id. Because Quincy did not make the proper objection at trial, we find that there was no violation of the attorney-client privilege.
