People v. Dworak
July 15, 2021281 Cal. Rptr. 3d 176
Summary
The California Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding third‑party culpability evidence, victim character evidence, and a booking photograph, and that the admission of prosecution photographs and prior sexual offense evidence was proper. The Court also found the alleged instructional and prosecutorial errors harmless.
