What is the test for consolidation of two separate criminal cases?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, E070136 (Cal. App. 2019):
In addition, the People contended the consolidation of the two cases would not prejudice defendant. They argued that none of the charges in either case was sufficiently more inflammatory than the other so as to constitute prejudice, the two cases were equal in strength of evidence, and none of the charges involved the death penalty. (See People v. Hill (1995) 34 Cal.App.4th 727, 735.)
