In what circumstances will the Court reverse its decision not to grant a motion requiring a reversal of a finding that physical restraint impaired the fairness of a trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ruiz, H030223 (Cal. App. 11/16/2007), H030223 (Cal. App. 2007):
The People then argue that the trial court's error was harmless. (People v. Anderson (2001) 25 Cal.4th 543, 595-596 [reversal is warranted only on a showing "that physical restraints impaired the fairness of defendant's trial and thus caused prejudice"].) We disagree given the circumstances of this case.
