Does Section 352 of the California Code of Civil Procedure apply to a defendant's evidence of self-defense?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Waldron, F068691 (Cal. App. 2017):

" '[O]f course, a defendant's evidence of self-defense is subject to all the normal evidentiary rules, including . . . [section] 352.' [Citation.]" (People v. Minifie (1996) 13 Cal.4th 1055, 1070.) The same is true of evidence offered to corroborate a defendant's account of events. (See People v. Fontana (2010) 49 Cal.4th 351, 368-369.) "We review for abuse of discretion a trial court's ruling to exclude proffered relevant evidence under . . . section 352. [Citations.]" (People v. Fuiava, supra, 53 Cal.4th at p. 663.)
