2016Thus, “before a federal constitutional error can be held harmless, the court must be able to declare a belief that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.” Id. at 24, 87 S.Ct. at 828 . [¶ 11.] Pursley asserts that “the effect of impugning [his] affirmative defense was particularly harmful due to the nature .of a self-defense theory. [He] admitted as part of the self-defense that he did harm the alleged victims.” However, it is not reasonably possible that the prosecutor’s objected to comments influenced the jury.
