How have courts dealt with the cumulative effect of the trial court's errors?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Navarro, E055421 (Cal. App. 2013):

Defendant asserts that the cumulative effect of the trial court's errors resulted in a denial of due process. Having found no error other than the court's computation of conduct credits, we do not address defendant's contention there was prejudicial cumulative error. (People v. Williams (2013) 56 Cal.4th 165, 201.)
