raised to and ruled upon by the trial [court]. Issues not raised and ruled upon in the
trial court will not be considered on appeal."); State v. Moses, 390 S.C. 502, 511,
702 S.E.2d 395, 400 (Ct. App. 2010) ("'[M]aking a motion in limine to exclude
evidence at the beginning of trial does not preserve an issue for review because a
motion in limine is not a final determination. The moving party, therefore, must
make a contemporaneous objection when the evidence is introduced.'" (quoting
State v. Forrester, 343 S.C. 637, 642, 541 S.E.2d 837, 840 (2001))).
