The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, F061269 (Cal. App. 2012):
Rodriguez argues the trial court abused its discretion when it excluded the evidence because the ruling violated his constitutional right to present a defense (Washington v. Texas (1967) 388 U.S. 14, 19), and his Fifth Amendment right to confront witnesses. There was no error.
