Heading: Asserted Personal Attack upon Defendant

Text: Defendant challenges two comments by the prosecutorthat defendant didn't learn how to conduct himself like a human being, but instead acted like a cavemanas improperly denigrating him before the jury. Because defendant did not object and seek an admonition, he has forfeited this challenge. Even if preserved, this challenge would fail because the prosecutor's statements were a fair use of colorful language to explain the prosecutor's view of the evidence: that defendant did what he wanted to his victims in spite of the most basic societal constraints and any protestations on their part. ( People v. Williams (1997) 16 Cal.4th 153, 221, 66 Cal.Rptr.2d 123, 940 P.2d 710.)
