What is the standard of review in a motion where a defendant is denied the opportunity to present a complete defense?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Davis, E065184 (Cal. App. 2017):
We now turn to the constitutional issue. We apply the de novo standard of review in examining whether defendant was precluded from presenting a defense such that the court violated defendant's constitutional right to present a complete defense. (People v. Quiroz (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 65, 70.)
