Definition: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Input: did attempt to make an offer of proof or other motion to enable the trial court to decide the appropriate scope of his testimony. See Whitehead, 116 Ill. 2d at 443. Defendant also argued trial counsel's claimed failure to object to improper comments by the prosecution. According to defendant, trial counsel did not object when the prosecution impermissibly highlighted his failure to testify, made an issue of trial counsel's sincerity, misled the jury by suggesting that defendant's theories of intoxication and reasonable doubt were sufficient in law only if the jury believed both defenses, and referred to him as a "pervert." These alleged errors were raised on direct appeal as instances of prosecutorial misconduct which denied defendant a fair trial. See Whitehead, 116 Ill. 2d at 445-47 (<HOLDING>). We cannot say, however, even assuming defense
Holding statements: (A) holding errors based on the constitutional rights to confrontation and due process may be waived by failure to object at trial (B) holding defendants failure to object timely waives its right to challenge expert report (C) holding failure to object in timely fashion at trial results in waiver of issue for appeal (D) holding claimed errors waived for failure to timely object (E) holding that claimed errors of law are subject to plenary review
Output:
holding errors based on the constitutional rights to confrontation and due process may be waived by failure to object at trial
