First, Does the abuse of standard of review apply to a trial court's refusal to question the jurors?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Vang, C060682 (Cal. App. 2011):
Second, we do indeed review the trial court's refusal to question the jurors by using the abuse of discretion standard of review. (See People v. Adcox (1988) 47 Cal.3d 207, 253 [applying this standard where the trial court allegedly erred in failing to hold a hearing to investigate juror misconduct].) We see no abuse here.
