Is the prosecution entitled to present evidence of the circumstances attending the crime even if it is grim?

" 'As a rule, the prosecution in a criminal case involving charges of murder or other violent crimes is entitled to present evidence of the circumstances attending them even if it is grim' [citation], and even if it 'duplicate[s] testimony, depict[s] uncontested facts, or trigger[s] an offer to stipulate.' " (People v. Boyce (2014) 59 Cal.4th 672, 688.) Although "[t]he jury can, and must, be shielded from depictions that sensationalize an alleged crime, or are unnecessarily gruesome, . . . the jury cannot be shielded from an accurate depiction of the charged crimes that does not unnecessarily play upon the emotions of the jurors." (People v. Streeter, supra, 54 Cal.4th at p. 238.) " ' "[M]urder is seldom pretty, and pictures, testimony and physical evidence in such a case are always unpleasant" ' [citations], and we rely on our trial courts to ensure that relevant, otherwise admissible evidence is not more prejudicial than probative." (People v. Gurule (2002) 28 Cal.4th 557, 624.)
