What are the findings of the Court of Appeal in determining whether a defendant received a fair trial due to a series of trial errors?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Azadgilani, G053812 (Cal. App. 2018):

Defendant asserts the cumulative effect of the trial errors resulted in an unfair trial. We have considered, and rejected, each claim of error. The prosecution presented a compelling case through the testimony of two witnesses with very similar factual accounts. "Defendant was entitled to a fair trial, not a perfect one." (People v. Box (2000) 23 Cal.4th 1153, 1214, overruled on other grounds in People v. Martinez (2010) 47 Cal.4th 911, 948, fn. 10.) Defendant received a fair trial.

The judgment is affirmed.
