What is the test for establishing a conflict of interest under section 1424 of the California Penal Code?

The court noted Penal Code section 1424 involves a two-prong analysis: (1) whether a "conflict exists," and (2) whether the conflict is prejudicial. As to the first prong, a conflict exists "'whenever the circumstances of a case evidence a reasonable possibility that the [district attorney's] office may not exercise its discretionary function in an evenhanded manner. Thus, there is no need to determine whether a conflict is "actual" or only gives an "appearance" of conflict.'" (People v. Eubanks, supra,

14 Cal.4th at p. 592.)
