How have courts treated appellant's claim of cumulative error?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hernandez, B277882 (Cal. App. 2018):

11. Given our conclusion in Sections I-II above, we need not address appellant's claim of cumulative error. Numerous meritless claims do not amount to prejudice under any analysis. (See People v. Koontz (2002) 27 Cal.4th 1041, 1094 ["we have found no error to cumulate"].)
