State, 30 So. 3d 1222, 1227 (Miss. 2010)). “‘An objection must be made with specificity, and failure to articulate the grounds for objection constitutes a waiver of the alleged error.’ Furthermore, ‘an objection cannot be enlarged in the reviewing court to embrace an omission not complained of at trial.’” Body v. Stat

2016Furthermore “asserting grounds for an objection on appeal that differ[] from the ground given for the objection at the trial level does not properly preserve the objection for appellate review.” Bursey v.
