Is a violation of the state evidence rule sufficient to grant federal habeas corpus relief?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Trusley v. Peterson, 972 F.2d 1343 (9th Cir. 1992):
Violation of a state evidence rule does not constitute grounds for federal habeas corpus relief absent a due process violation that renders the trial fundamentally unfair. See Jammal v. Van De Kamp, 926 F.2d 918, 919-20 (9th Cir.1991).
