What is the standard of review applied in the closing argument of a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Howell, H040885 (Cal. App. 2016):
We first address defendant's contentions concerning the proper standard of review. Defendant contends that the court's exclusion of the newspaper articles during closing argument "automatically constitutes error." Elsewhere in his opening brief, he argues the exclusion "automatically requires reversal." In support of his position that a stringent standard of review should be applied, defendant cites People v. Woodson (1964)
