Does a defense counsel need to obtain the same foundation for mother's opinion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, E066928 (Cal. App. 2018):

Defense counsel did not obtain the same foundation for mother's opinion. Accordingly, we do not find the trial court abused its discretion by excluding her testimony. (People v. Peoples (2016) 62 Cal.4th 718, 745.)
