6 Virgin Islands opinions name it 1 courts 2012–2013 0 in the last five years
The cases below were cited by Virgin Islands courts in a sentence that names this issue. Sides come from how each citing opinion treated the case (Syfertize flag on that citation), so a case can appear on both: that is where the law is contested. A red or yellow chip is the case's own overall treatment.
| Case | Followed | Cited |
|---|---|---|
United States v. Eric Antonio Parkergreen1 sentence2012However, Nicholas references the cumulative error doctrine in only a single sentence in his brief, in which he says that, “[t]aken together, and viewed in the aggregate, the cumulative prejudice of these innumerable errors was absolutely overwhelming,” and then proceeds to cite to a single case — United States v. Parker, 997 F.2d 219, 222 (6th Cir. 1993) — for the general proposition that the doctrine exists. | 1 | 1 |
United States v. Delgadogreen1 sentence2012(Appellant’s Br. 50.) Nevertheless, to the extent this fleeting reference to cumulative error is sufficient to properly place the issue before us, we hold that Nicholas’s trial was not “the unusual case in which synergistic or repetitive error violates the defendant’s constitutional right to a fair trial,” given that the evidentiary errors were all fleeting and “the government present[ed] substantial evidence of guilt.” United States v. Delgado, 672 F.3d 320, 344 (5th Cir. 2012). | 1 | 1 |

Nicholas v. People

2 sentences2013Nicholas v. People, 56 V.I. 718 , 750 n.24 (V.I. 2012). 2013With respect to his argument as it applies to sentencing, assuming arguendo that it is properly before us and that the cumulative error doctrine applies, see, e.g., Nicholas v. People, 56 V.I. 718 , 750 n.24 (V.I. 2012), we decline to address it, given the disposition of this appeal. | 4 | 2012–2013 |

Simmonds v. People
green
2 sentences2013Even if this Court were inclined to adopt the cumulative error doctrine — which we have not yet done, see Simmonds, 59 V.I. at 504 n.16 — the instant matter does not qualify as “the unusual case in which synergistic or repetitive error violates the defendant’s constitutional right to a fair trial,” given the relatively small number of errors and the fact that many of them actually inured in Joseph’s favor. 2013Even if this Court were inclined to adopt the cumulative error doctrine — which we have not yet done, see Simmonds, 59 V.I. at 504 n.16 — the instant matter does not qualify as “the unusual case in which synergistic or repetitive error violates the defendant’s constitutional right to a fair trial,” given the relatively small number of errors and the fact that many of them actually inured in Joseph’s favor. | 1 | 2013–2013 |
