Key legal question
Whether the defendants’ reliance on fundamental error was time-barred under Art. 31 OR
Extracted holding
Art. 31 OR contains a forfeiture period, not a mere objection rule; the appellate court correctly considered the defendants’ invocation of fundamental error as late.
Extracted reasoning
The one-year period for challenging error under Art. 31 OR is a peremptory limitation period, not a limitation period subject to objection under Art. 142 OR.
