MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Carlos, 113 F.3d 1243 (9th Cir. 1997):
A trial court's decision to admit or exclude evidence is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Crosby, 75 F.3d 1343, 1346 (9th Cir.1996). Such decisions will be reversed for an abuse of discretion only if such nonconstitutional error more likely than not affected the verdict. United States v. Karterman, 60 F.3d 576, 578 (9th Cir.1995).
