What is the test for a defendant's claim that the evidence presented at trial was prejudicial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Samol Sam Om, C068420 (Cal. App. 2013):
Having rejected defendant's claim that the evidence was "unduly prejudicial," we also reject his argument that its admission "constituted blatant trampling on [his] due process right to any defense." (Citing, e.g., Crane v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 683, 690 [90 L.Ed.2d 636, 645].) Defendant has not shown that the trial court abused its discretion.
