Description
Erroneously admitted evidence; appeal. Provides that when a criminal judgment is appealed based on a claim that the evidence to convict was insufficient because the trial court improperly admitted evidence, the reviewing court shall consider all evidence admitted at trial to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to sustain the judgment. If the reviewing court determines that evidence was erroneously admitted and that such error was not harmless, the case shall be remanded for a new trial. Read the Bill »
