California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Delosreyes, A137119 (Cal. App. 2015):
If we find prosecutorial misconduct that violates a defendant's federal constitutional rights, we must reverse the conviction unless we find beyond a reasonable doubt that prosecutorial misconduct did not contribute to the jury's verdict.
