California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Passineau, H036276 (Cal. App. 2012):
Defendant argues that even if no error alone was prejudicial, the cumulative impact of the errors was prejudicial. Above we have acknowledged arguable error only in the rulings excluding corroboration of how defendant was advised to react to sexualized behavior. We have also concluded that this error was neither constitutional nor prejudicial under the state standard. We conclude that "[e]ven considered cumulatively, there is no reasonable probability [citation] that absent the errors the jury would have reached a different result." (People v. Jones (2003) 30 Cal.4th 1084, 1117.)
