Ah, but there's the rub! If Geragos doesn't object and move for a mistrial, then he has lost his chance to appeal based on that issue!

A lot of good issues get lost, and are not allowed to be raised on appeal, because the lawyer didn't object or move for mistrial during the trial, and therefore the appeals court will consider any objection the lawyer might have raised as WAIVED.

Good point and I'm sure Geragos has this all figured out too. Tuesday is going to be interesting to see where he goes with it.
