What is the test for determining what is wrong with a judge's judgment?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Masajedian v. Kim, B300440 (Cal. App. 2020):

reminiscent of those magazine puzzles of yesteryear where the reader was challenged to 'guess what is wrong with this picture.'" (People v. Dougherty (1982) 138 Cal.App.3d 278, 280.)

It is well-established that a trial court judgment is "'presumed correct. All intendments and presumptions are indulged to support it on matters as to which the record is silent, and error must be affirmatively shown. This is not only a general principle of appellate practice but an ingredient of the constitutional doctrine of reversible error.' [Citations.]" (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564.)
