Does the Attorney General have to address the merits of defendant's equal protection claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stillwell, H041819 (Cal. App. 2016):
The Attorney General also argues that we need not address the merits of defendant's equal protection claim because even if the trial court erred by allowing the prosecution to call him as a witness and present his prior testimony through its expert witnesses, defendant was not prejudiced. The Attorney General contends that such an error would be reviewed under the state law standard set forth in People v. Watson (1956)
