What is the effect of a series of errors in a criminal trial?

It is true that a series of trial errors, though independently harmless, may in some circumstances rise by accretion to the level of reversible and prejudicial error. (People v. Cunningham (2001) 25 Cal.4th 926, 1009; People v. Hill (1998) 17 Cal.4th 800, 844.) However, we have found only harmless error pertaining to gang evidence that failed to give rise to a true finding on the gang enhancement allegation. There was no series of trial errors resulting in prejudice to defendant.

Defendant was entitled to a fair trial, but not a perfect one. (People v. Cunningham, supra, 25 Cal.4th at pp. 926, 1009, and cases cited; see also, People v. Jasso (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 1354, 1378.) Defendant was not deprived of a fair trial.

The judgment is affirmed.
