What is the effect of a court's ruling in a case involving a "virtual street brawl" and "endless discussions" among counsel regarding the admissibility of a motion for contempt of court?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Ruiz, A139127 (Cal. App. 2016):

"virtual street brawl" and "endless discussions" among counsel regarding its admissibility. (Id. at p. 611.) In contrast, the court in this case did not decline to exercise its discretion. Like the trial court in People v. Hill, supra, 191 Cal.App.4th at page 1139, "[t]he trial court here exercised its discretion and eliminated two offenses the prosecution sought to introduce. This ruling created neither a 'street brawl' nor 'endless discussions.' No error occurred."
