What constitutes waiver of a claim?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Hale, BA322866, No. B217608, No. BA322633 (Cal. App. 2010):

The Attorney General correctly notes that Hale never objected to these remarks at trial. That constitutes a waiver of his claim. (People v. Morales (2001) 25 Cal.4th 34, 43-44.) If error occurred, it easily could have been corrected with appropriate objection.
