Heading: testimony of officer helm

Text: ¶ 34 Green argues that the admission of Officer Helm's testimony regarding fault, [10] the ultimate issue in this case, was plain error because it was based solely on inadmissible hearsay. [11] Although Green objected to Helm's reliance on hearsay evidence, she did not specifically object to his testimony regarding fault. Nevertheless, she asks this court to presume an objection to the testimony regarding fault based on her objection to the hearsay testimony. However, Green provides no legal argument or authority to support this contention. This court will not assume her `burden of argument and research.' State v. Thomas, 961 P.2d 299, 305 (Utah 1998) (quoting State v. Bishop, 753 P.2d 439, 450 (Utah 1988)), and will not consider this argument. [12]
