press clause limiting the discretion of
appellate tribunals and specifying the
kinds of error that warrant a reversal
of a verdict reached properly on the
evidence
I'm some states, it is pointed out. an
attempt in this direction has actually
been made, but the results are not al
ways satisfactory because the judicial
error habit is second nature and it
will take time and moral pressure to
reform it.
"The New York criminal code con-
tains this provision in regard to the
matter: After hearing the appeal the
court must give judgment without re-
gard to technical errors or defects, or
to exceptions which do not affect the
substantial rights of the parties I'm
der this provision judgments have
been affirmed, even in capital cases,
Notwithstanding plain legal error in
the admission of testimony. where it
was clear to the court that the error
could have no effect on the verdict.
''In the average case, in most of our
states, plain legal error means a re-
versal on the ground that the error
might have in some way or other in
fiuenced the jury and the verdict The
difference between the two points of
view is material.
There are progressive men in New
York who believe that the words 'af-
feet the substantial rights of the par
ties in the cause quoted are too vague.
They would make the clause stronger
by inserting materially to qualify the
verb affect Even as it stands, how
ever. the provision prevents many re-
versals on technical and trivial
grounds. Other states would do well
to follow New York's example"
