What is the test for making a specific objection on Miranda grounds at the trial level?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Garcia, F073921 (Cal. App. 2019):

strike the evidence that was timely made and so stated as to make clear the specific ground of the objection or motion; ..." (Evid. Code, 353, subd. (a), italics added.) Specificity is required both to enable the court to make an informed ruling on the motion or objection and to enable the party proffering the evidence to cure the defect in the evidence. [Citations.] Miranda-based[¹³] claims are governed by this rule. " 'The general rule is that a defendant must make a specific objection on Miranda grounds at the trial level in order to raise a Miranda claim on appeal.' [Citation.]" (People v. Mattson (1990) 50 Cal.3d 826, 853-854.)
