What is the test for admonishing a prosecutor in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Zubek, B262568 (Cal. App. 2016):
Finally, defendant's claim that the court committed misconduct borders on the frivolous. Absent an objection, the trial court was not required to admonish the prosecutor. (People v. Bell (1989) 49 Cal.3d 502, 542.) Moreover, the record reflects consistent and thoughtful efforts by the trial court to ensure that defendant received a fair trial.
