Is a denial of a fundamental pro se right redeemable?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Joseph, 196 Cal.Rptr. 339, 34 Cal.3d 936, 671 P.2d 843 (Cal. 1983):

Since the denial of appellant's fundamental pro se right cannot "be redeemed through ... the subsequent conclusion that [appellant's] practical position has not been disadvantaged" (United States v. Dougherty, supra, 473 F.2d at p. 1128), the judgment must be reversed.
