What is a defendant's right to present evidence at trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Toney, C056102 (Cal. App. 11/17/2008), C056102 (Cal. App. 2008):
A defendant's right to present evidence at trial contemplates the presentation of evidence that has significant probative value. The application of the ordinary rules of evidence does not generally infringe impermissibly on a defendant's constitutional rights. (People v. Boyette (2002) 29 Cal.4th 381, 427-428.)
