Is there any relevant historical evidence in the context of a murder case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Toledo, B220510 (Cal. App. 2012):

Toledo argues in a letter brief that this court previously found the historical shootings to be irrelevant to another murder allegedly committed by Toledo. (People v. Toledo (Oct. 5, 2011, B219800) [nonpub. opn.].) The argument is without merit. In that case, Toledo was alleged to have committed a murder in 2002. During trial, the prosecution presented the same historical gang evidence as was presented in the instant case. We held only that the crimes occurring after the 2002 murder, not those occurring before, were irrelevant.
