1991Failure to object at trial to allegedly improper remarks made by the State or to raise those objections with reasonable specificity in a post-trial motion generally constitutes a waiver of any error on appeal (People v. Enoch (1988), 122 Ill. 2d 176 , 522 N.E.2d 1124 ; People v. Smith (1985), 139 Ill.

1991App. 3d 21 , 486 N.E.2d 1347 ), unless the remarks were so egregious and prejudicial that they constituted a material factor in the defendant’s conviction or otherwise prevented him from receiving a fair trial.

1985However, although the failure to object ordinarily constitutes a waiver of any error on appeal, such technicality cannot prevail where the court is here confronted with protecting the rights of a minor. ( Fears v. Fears (1972), 5 Ill.

2011Plaintiffs, citing Hubbard v. Sherman Hospital, 292 Ill.App.3d 148, 156-57 , 226 Ill.Dec. 393 , 685 N.E.2d 648 (1997), correctly note that "Under Illinois law, the failure to timely object to alleged errors during closing argument is deemed a waiver of any such error." Defendants argue now, without citation to authority, that this failure to timely object to plaintiff's closing argument should be excused because they raised their objection in a motion for a mistrial.

1991He is brought in and he admits to it.” The defendant’s failure to make a contemporaneous objection to these comments would generally operate as a waiver of any error in relation to them (People v. Harris (1989), 132 Ill. 2d 366, 386 ), unless the comments were so improper that they constituted plain error (107 Ill. 2d R. 615(a); see People v. Carlson (1980), 79 Ill. 2d 564, 576-78 ).

1991(Enoch, 122 Ill. 2d at 187 .) Additionally, “[a]n offer of proof is necessary where there is no other satisfactory indication as to the substance of evidence [citation], and the failure to do so is a waiver of any error in the exclusion of testimony [citation].” (People v. Green (1983), 118 Ill.

1991App. 3d 227, 234 , 454 N.E.2d 792 .) Hence, we agree with the State that waiver has occurred.

1989The appellate court affirmed the dismissal of these counts, holding that plaintiffs’ “utter failure to present any written argument on appeal pertaining to the question of whether these counts contain legally sufficient factual allegations of wilful and wanton misconduct has resulted in the waiver of any error in the circuit court’s dismissal of these counts.” ( 162 Ill.

1986(People v. Huckstead (1982), 91 Ill. 2d 536, 643 , 440 N.E.2d 1248 .) However, a limited exception to the waiver rule is contained in Supreme Court Rule 451(c) (87 Ill. 2d R. 451(c)), which permits the review of “substantial defects” in instructions “if the interests of justice require.” (People v. Tannenbaum (1980), 82 Ill. 2d 177, 182 , 415 N.E.2d 1027 .) We will therefore consider whether any error in the jury instructions given here rises to the level of plain error warranting reversal.

1984The Condemnation Suit City Bank has moved to dismiss the appeal in the condemnation suit on the ground that the stipulated $36,000 was part of the condemnation judgment and that, since the city has paid that amount “in partial payment and satisfaction of judgment order in Case No. 82L6849, City of Chicago v. Chicago City Bank and Trust Co.,” that payment acts as a waiver of any error in the condemnation proceedings and of the city’s right to appeal from that order under County of Cook v.
