The following excerpt is from People v. Slaughter, F067401 (Cal. App. 2015):
instructs us to 'conduct a thorough examination of the record. If, at the end of that examination, the court cannot conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the jury verdict would have been the same absent the error ... it should not find the error harmless.' [Citation.]" (People v. Mil (2012) 53 Cal.4th 400, 417.)
