What is the forfeiture rule on appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Alvarez, F064349 (Cal. App. 2016):
The forfeiture rule prevents gamesmanship by the defense and it allows errors to be corrected by the trial court. (People v. Romero, supra, 44 Cal.4th at p. 411.) Here, as we analyze each of appellant's claims, we will note as appropriate those specific issues which appellant has forfeited on appeal following a failure to object in the trial court. Regarding those instances, we will also examine whether appellant can establish ineffective assistance of counsel.
