What is the test for determining whether a court error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rivera, B295700 (Cal. App. 2020):
Because the court's error was one of constitutional magnitude, we must determine whether the error was "harmless beyond a reasonable doubt." (Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18, 24 [87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705].)
