The following excerpt is from People v. Nikolayan, B249123 (Cal. App. 2015):
All relevant evidence is admissible. (Evid. Code, 351.) Relevant evidence is all evidence "including evidence relevant to the credibility of a witness or hearsay declarant, having any tendency in reason to prove or disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." (Evid. Code, 210.) We review the admission and exclusion of evidence on relevance grounds for abuse of discretion. (People v. Kipp (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1100, 1123.) Evidence Code section 354 provides that a judgment will not be reversed due to the erroneous exclusion of evidence unless the error resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
