What is the test for reversal of a finding of guilty in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sanders, F073305 (Cal. App. 2018):
We need not address the issue further because a reversal is unwarranted unless the prosecutorial misconduct was prejudicial, i.e., unless it is reasonably probable the jury would have reached a result more favorable to Sanders if the misconduct had not occurred. (People v. Partida (2005) 37 Cal.4th 428, 439.) Such is not the case.
