Does the cumulative effect of a trial court's errors deprive plaintiff of a fair trial?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Theus, B217486 (Cal. App. 2011):

Theus contends the cumulative effect of the trial court's errors deprived him of a fair trial. Although we have discussed two instances of error, we are satisfied that either individually or taken together, they did not affect the fairness of the trial. (People v. Cain (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1, 82.)
