Is there prejudice to convictions on counts 3 and 5 of the Humboldt/Harm harmless-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Flynn, F062483 (Cal. App. 2013):

We conclude there is prejudice whether the harmless-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard of Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18 or the reasonably probable standard of People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818 is applied. We thus will reverse the convictions on counts 3 and 5.
