Does the cumulative effect of errors in a jury trial affect the fairness of the trial?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Bueno, A149158 (Cal. App. 2018):

3. Appellant contends the cumulative effect of errors denied him a fair trial. We have either rejected appellant's claims of error or found that any assumed errors were not prejudicial. "Viewed as a whole, such errors do not warrant reversal of the judgment." (People v. Stitely (2005) 35 Cal.4th 514, 560.)
