People v. Flores

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of possessing contraband in a penal institution. After verdict, defense requested that the jury be polled. Court polled the jury, but asked only 11 of the 12 jurors to verbally confirm their verdict. Defendant did not object to that polling and did not raise the issue in a posttrial motion, raising it for the first time on appeal. Defendant forfeited the error for review and is not entitled to relief under plain error doctrine. (FITZGERALD SMITH and LAVIN, concurring.)
