California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stearman, C075937, C076323 (Cal. App. 2018):
broadly. (Evid. Code, 210; People v. Scheid (1997) 16 Cal.4th 1, 13.) The court may exclude relevant evidence if the probative value is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will create substantial danger of undue prejudice. (Evid. Code, 352.) We review the court's determination of admissibility for an abuse of discretion. (People v Alvarez (1996) 14 Cal.4th 155, 201.)
