California Court of Appeal

PEOPLE v. CHEAVES, B164486

Defendant's appeal based on due process grounds is affirmed. Error in instructions on a lesser included offense in a noncapital case is reversed only if it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the defendant would have been reached in the absence of the instructional error.
