What is the test for habeas relief in the context of multiple trial errors?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Davis v. Frink, No. 2:16-cv-1159-KJM-EFB P (E.D. Cal. 2018):
Multiple trial errors violate a petitioner's due process where their combined effect renders his trial fundamentally unfair. Chambers v. Mississippi, 410 U.S. 284, 298 (1973). "Under traditional due process principles, cumulative error warrants habeas relief only where the errors have so infected the trial with unfairness as to make the resulting conviction a denial of due process." Parle v. Runnels, 505 F.3d 922, 927 (9th Cir. 2007) (internal quotation marks omitted).
