In what circumstances would a jury have found a defendant not guilty of a charge of sexual assault?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Faith, C053653 (Cal. App. 1/16/2009), C053653 (Cal. App. 2009):
The jury's verdicts reflected the strong case against defendant. We are confident that, had the trial court not made the evidentiary rulings that defendant's claims were error, the jury's verdict would nonetheless have been the same. (People v. Chatman (2006) 38 Cal.4th 344, 410.)
