What is the effect of cumulative error on a defendant's claim of fair trial and due process?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Garcia, H040078 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant contends that he was deprived of a fair trial and due process by the cumulative impact of the errors in the present case. We have found an assumed error to be nonprejudicial and have rejected his remaining claims. Accordingly, his contention of cumulative error fails. (See People v. Myles (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1181, 1225.)
