What is the test for a motion to vacate a criminal conviction for sexual assault?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Vaughn, B277941 (Cal. App. 2019):

Love argues that his convictions must be vacated because the cumulative effect of all of the errors he alleges so warrants. Because his individual claims lack merit, their cumulative impact does not warrant reversal. (People v. McWhorter (2009) 47 Cal.4th 318, 377.)
