When will a defendant lose his right to object at trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Suggs, C074070 (Cal. App. 2017):
When a defendant fails to object at trial, he forfeits the right to object on appeal. (People v. Holloway (2004) 33 Cal.4th 96, 124.) In addition, it was defense counsel who said he was comfortable keeping Juror No. 2 on the jury, noting that the portion of testimony missed was not substantial.
