Can a defendant be denied relief under the federal reasonably probable standard or state reasonably probable?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Anderson, A156857 (Cal. App. 2020):
(Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18, 24) or the state reasonably probable standard (People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836) because the record of conviction demonstrates defendant was ineligible for relief as a matter of law, and thus he suffered no prejudice, even under the stricter federal standard.
