What is the test for reversing a jury's verdict in a motor vehicle accident case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Alvarez, G054284 (Cal. App. 2018):
We review this claim under the harmless error standard (People v. Rogers (2006) 39 Cal.4th 826, 867-868), and thus "[r]eversal is required only if it is reasonably probable the jury would have returned a different verdict absent the error . . . ." (Id. at p. 868.) Applying that standard, we conclude that to the extent there was error, it was harmless.
