California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Prasad, B254606 (Cal. App. 2015):

The trial court has broad discretion to determine the relevance of evidence and we will not disturb the court's exercise of that discretion unless it acted in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner. (People v. Jones (2013) 57 Cal.4th 899, 947.)
