What are the consequences of the error-strewn evidentiary rulings of the Superior Court of Appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Cardenas, 184 Cal.Rptr. 165, 31 Cal.3d 897, 647 P.2d 569 (Cal. 1982):
Appellant next contends that the cumulative prejudice resulting from the trial court's erroneous evidentiary rulings requires reversal of his conviction. The record of the trial supports this contention. Absent the several evidentiary errors, it is reasonably probable that the jury would not have convicted appellant of the charged offenses. (People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836, 299 P.2d 243.)
