Does cumulative error affect a defendant's right to appeal against his conviction?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Adams, C085290 (Cal. App. 2019):

Defendant contends that his conviction should be reversed because cumulative error denied his right to due process. Since we have " 'either rejected on the merits defendant's claims of error or have found assumed errors to be nonprejudicial[,] [w]e reach the same conclusion with respect to the cumulative effect of any [purported] errors.' " (People v. Cole (2004) 33 Cal.4th 1158, 1235-1236.)

The judgment is affirmed.
