Is there any case law where a defendant has been successful in challenging a finding that the trial court erred prejudicially in its review process?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Catlin, 109 Cal.Rptr.2d 31, 26 Cal.4th 81, 26 P.3d 357 (Cal. 2001):

Defendant claims that the trial court erred prejudicially in failing to place on the record the process by which it concluded that the probative value of the evidence outweighed its prejudicial impact, but such explanations are not required. (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 724, fn. 6, 94 Cal.Rptr.2d 396, 996 P.2d 46.) In any event, it is clear that the court carefully considered lengthy transcripts, written motions, and the arguments of counsel in reaching its conclusion, taking the matter under submission for a day in order to complete its review.
