California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Perez, B258736 (Cal. App. 2015):
reasonable doubt that defendant was the perpetrator. Defendant's request that we reweigh evidence to come to a different conclusion is one we must decline. (People v. Brown (2014) 59 Cal.4th 86, 106.)
Defendant next raises three challenges to the exclusion or admission of evidence. We review evidentiary rulings for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Harris (2005) 37 Cal.4th 310, 337.)
