Does the cumulative effect of errors at trial affect the fairness of the trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Saddozai, A154894 (Cal. App. 2021):
Saddozai contends the cumulative effect of errors deprived him of due process and a fair trial. (People v. Williams (2009) 170 Cal.App.4th 587, 646 [review of each alleged error to assess cumulative effect and whether jury would have rendered more favorable verdict in their absence].) Any identified or perceived errors were not prejudicial, either individually or cumulatively, and do not warrant reversal of the judgment.
