Are there any prejudicial or prejudicial elements of the prosecutor's push back against the court's rulings?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Poletti, H040412 (Cal. App. 2015):
related to either the uncharged rapes evidence or the prosecutor's push back against the court's rulings, were no more prejudicial together. "Lengthy criminal trials are rarely perfect, and this court will not reverse a judgment absent a clear showing of a miscarriage of justice." (People v. Hill (1998) 17 Cal.4th 800, 844.) No such showing had been made here.
