Is there any case law in which a murder conviction is invalid?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Murillo, B275684 (Cal. App. 2018):
Murillo argues that his murder conviction is invalid due to the cumulative effect of both of the above discussed errors. Because his individual claims lack merit, there is no error to cumulate. (People v. McWhorter (2009) 47 Cal.4th 318, 377.)
