What is the effect of not re-advising appellant of his right to counsel at the preliminary hearing?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. King, B237538 (Cal. App. 2012):
Even assuming for the sake of argument that it was error to not re-advise appellant of his right to counsel at the preliminary hearing, we find any such error was harmless. (People v. Pompa-Ortiz (1980) 27 Cal.3d 519, 530 [on direct appeal from the judgment, denial of right to counsel is subject to harmless error analysis, i.e. whether the defendant was deprived of a fair trial or otherwise suffered prejudice as a result of the error ].)
