California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Huggins, C056765 (Cal. App. 3/25/2009), C056765 (Cal. App. 2009):
"The issue of the relevance of evidence is left to the sound discretion of the trial court, and the exercise of that discretion will not be reversed absent a showing of abuse. [Citations.] That discretion is only abused where there is a clear showing the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason, all of the circumstances being considered." (People v. DeJesus (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1, 32.)
