Is a convicted burglar wrongfully convicted because of his co-defendant's prior burglary conviction?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Vansickle, A156274 (Cal. App. 2020):
Vansickle contends that his conviction must be reversed because the trial court erred in admitting his co-defendant's prior burglary conviction. Applying the abuse of discretion standard (People v. Harris (2013) 57 Cal.4th 804, 841 (Harris)), we conclude the trial court did not err.
