What is the test for admitting or excluding impeachment evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Meraz, F068213 (Cal. App. 2016):
"Because the court's discretion to admit or exclude impeachment evidence 'is as broad as necessary to deal with the great variety of factual situations in which the issue arises' [citation], a reviewing court ordinarily will uphold the trial court's exercise of discretion [citations]." (People v. Clark (2011) 52 Cal.4th 856, 932.) We see no reason to depart from this rule in the present case.
