Does a defendant have grounds to argue that admitting evidence of sexual assault to a federal jury is unconstitutional?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rivera, F066130 (Cal. App. 2015):
Defendant contends admission of the evidence constituted federal constitutional error. "Because the trial court did not abuse its discretion under state law in admitting this evidence over defendant's objections, his claim that the admission of this evidence violated his constitutional right to a fair trial ... is without merit. [Citation.]" (People v. Fuiava (2012) 53 Cal.4th 622, 670.)29
