How have the courts dealt with the issue of support during the testimony of a defendant's support person?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. White, F067535 (Cal. App. 2015):

Defendant contends the trial court erred by permitting Mother to serve as a support person during her daughter's testimony. This contention is summarily rejected under the rule of forfeiture because defendant failed to object to this procedure at trial. (People v. Myles (2012) 53 Cal.4th 1181, 1214; People v. Stevens (2009) 47 Cal.4th 625, 641.) In any event, we disagree that the trial court committed error or that trial counsel's failure to object caused defendant any prejudice.
