How have evidentiary errors been dealt with in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. D.W. (In re D.W.), A148291 (Cal. App. 2017):
Appellant argues the cumulative impact of the evidentiary errors violated his rights to due process and a fair trial. Because only one error was arguably committed, and because that error was harmless, there is nothing to cumulate and no violation of appellant's constitutional rights. (See People v. Duff (2014) 58 Cal.4th 527, 562.)
The judgment is affirmed.
