Does the introduction of hearsay evidence in a civil case affect the fairness of a jury trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Kirk, A129233 (Cal. App. 2011):
Appellant claims that even if none of the errors he has alleged requires reversal, their cumulative impact deprived him of a fair trial. We disagree. To the extent we have assumed error in the introduction of certain hearsay evidence, such error was harmless. Reversal is not required, whether the issues are considered individually or collectively. (See People v. Gutierrez (2009) 45 Cal.4th 789, 828-829.)
