How have the courts dealt with a plaintiff's claim that the death verdict was based on a series of statutory, constitutional and statutory violations?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rodrigues, 36 Cal.Rptr.2d 235, 8 Cal.4th 1060, 885 P.2d 1 (Cal. 1994):
Defendant claims that the various asserted statutory and constitutional violations, both singly and in combination, denied him due process and undermined the reliability of the death verdict. Whether or not expressly discussed, we have considered and rejected as being without merit all of these claims. (See People v. Mickle, supra, 54 Cal.3d at p. 197, 284 Cal.Rptr. 511, 814 P.2d 290.)
