Does defendant have to prove a reasonable probability that the result would have been different absent the alleged error?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Powell, F075848 (Cal. App. 2019):
demonstrate a "reasonable probability" that the result would have been different absent the alleged error. (People v. Williams (1997) 16 Cal.4th 153, 215.) "A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome. [Citation.]" (Ibid.) We agree with respondent that defendant has not demonstrated prejudice.
