California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Kelso, A147691 (Cal. App. 2018):
Finally, we reject appellant's claim that the evidence that was admitted was so pervasive and so infected the trial with unfairness as to deprive him of his constitutional right to a fair trial and due process of law. "The 'routine application of state evidentiary law does not implicate [a] defendant's constitutional rights.' [Citation.] As [appellant] provides no elaboration or separate argument for these constitutional claims, we decline to address further these boilerplate contentions." (People v. Hovarter (2008) 44 Cal.4th 983, 1010.)
The judgment is affirmed.
