Is there any case law where evidence regarding the seizure of indecent images of children from a defendant's computer and telephone, and the search terms used in that search?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rosacia, B298530 (Cal. App. 2020):

Defendant contends that evidence regarding the files, including images, seized from his computers and telephone as well as the search terms "did not qualify as admissible criminal disposition evidence under [Evidence Code] section 1108, were insufficiently probative under [Evidence Code] section 1101[,] subdivision (b), and were unduly prejudicial under [Evidence Code] section 352." "'In determining the admissibility of evidence, the trial court has broad discretion . . . .'" (People v. Jackson (2016) 1 Cal.5th 269, 320.)
