What is the test for excluding a defendant's face from the criminal record?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Huntsinger, E070886 (Cal. App. 2019):

defendant's face. (See People v. Mullens (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 648, 658 [trial court abuses its discretion only when its decision "'exceeds the bounds of reason'"].)

Even if the trial court erred by excluding the two additional photographs, any such error was harmless because there was overwhelming evidence supporting defendant's convictions for vehicular burglary and attempted unlawful taking or driving of a vehicle. "[R]eversal is required only if it is reasonably probable the defendant would have obtained a more favorable result had the evidence been excluded." (People v. Carrillo (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 94, 103.)
