What is the bare evidence of an arrest warrant?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, B236686 (Cal. App. 2013):

omitted.) The evidence consisted of a one-sentence stipulation, read to the jury, that "there was a warrant for [appellant] at the time of the charged incident." There was no information about what sort of charge the warrant involved. In addition, as mentioned above, the trial court also gave the jury a limiting instruction that the evidence should only be considered as to motive. The trial court could have reasonably concluded that the bare evidence of an arrest warrant would not "so inflame the emotions of the jurors that they would '"reward or punish one side because of the jurors' emotional reaction."' [Citation.]" (People v. Leon (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 452, 462.)
