Does a defendant have forfeited any claim of prejudicial error in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Flippin, A139437 (Cal. App. 2015):
3. In People v. Dowdell, defendant's authority, the reviewing court ultimately found the defendant's claim of prosecutorial misconduct had been forfeited given his failure to raise a timely objection to the challenged statements in the trial court. (227 Cal.App.4th at p. 1408.) Likewise, in this case, as stated above, even if we could deem the prosecutor's comment improper (we do not), defendant has forfeited any claim of prejudicial error.
