What is the effect of errors in a jury verdict in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Patel, B281294 (Cal. App. 2018):

Although most of the evidence against defendant was circumstantial, it was ample. Defendant received a fair trial. There is no reasonable probability the jury would have reached a more favorable verdict in the absence of the claimed errors. (See People v. Carrera (1989) 49 Cal.3d 291, 332.)
