Can a judge exclude or admit evidence in a ruling on a motion in limine?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Thomas Quoc-Thai Nguyen v. Tran, G045507 (Cal. App. 2012):
Exclusion and admission of evidence in ruling on a motion in limine are within the broad discretion of the trial court. (Greer v. Buzgheia (2006) 141 Cal.App.4th 1150, 1156.) We reject defendants' assertion the court had no discretion because the evidence was not pertinent to the pleadings.
