When will a trial court admit evidence of witness intimidation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Miller, B219922, Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. MA041498 (Cal. App. 2011):
"[T]he mere failure to object rarely rises to a level implicating one's constitutional right to effective legal counsel." (People v. Dickey (2005) 35 Cal.4th 884, 914.) This case is no exception. We find no ineffective assistance of counsel.
