How Not to Preserve an Objection

“Plaintiffs contend that the district court erroneously permitted Mauro Beltramini (Beltramini’s son) to testify regarding the expenses incurred from the soccer matches when he had no personal knowledge or involvement with any of the matches. Even if that were true, Plaintiffs’ objection to Mauro’s testimony cannot be squared with their later assent to admit Joint Exhibit 1, an exhibit that included Mauro’s expenses calculations—the same exact content of his testimony. Plaintiffs have therefore waived any right to complain about it on appeal.”
