Does defendant have any grounds to argue that the trial court erred by refusing to grant him additional peremptory challenges?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Franklin, C037197. (Cal. App. 2003):
As discussed above, defendant has failed to show that, as a result of the denial of the motion for change of venue and the jury selection process, he was reasonably likely to receive an unfair trial. (See People v. Bonin, supra, 46 Cal.3d at p. 679.) Hence, his contention the trial court erred by not giving him additional peremptory challenges is without merit.
