What is the test for admissible evidence in a domestic violence case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Davis, H041255 (Cal. App. 2016):

After considering whether the evidence was unduly prejudicial, the trial court determined that the evidence was admissible under section 1101, subdivision (b) to show defendant's intent. The trial court also determined that the evidence was admissible to prove whether the victim was in reasonable fear. The trial court next considered whether the uncharged acts of domestic violence were admissible as propensity evidence under section 1109. Relying on People v. Ogle (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 1138 (Ogle), the trial court concluded that the evidence was admissible.
