trial court will not be considered on appeal."); State v. Schumpert, 312 S.C. 502,
507, 435 S.E.2d 859, 862 (1993) ("A ruling in limine is not a final ruling on the
admissibility of evidence."); id. ("Unless an objection is made at the time the
evidence is offered and a final ruling made, the issue is not preserved for review.");

and then the victim's sister testified without objection).
