California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Casillas, B286467 (Cal. App. 2019):

7. Likewise, we reject appellant's assertion that the expert testimony violated his due process rights and rendered the trial fundamentally unfair. (See People v. Roybal (1998) 19 Cal. 4th 481, 506, fn. 2 ["The superior court did not abuse its discretion; there is thus no predicate error on which to base the constitutional claims."]; People v. Davis (1995) 10 Cal.4th 481, 506, fn. 2 [no constitutional violation where defendant "recasts his state claim under constitutional labels"].)
