The following excerpt is from People v. Robinson, A150632 (Cal. App. 2019):
The trial court has broad discretion to exclude evidence if its probative value is outweighed by the substantial danger of undue prejudice, or may confuse the jury, or would consume an undue amount of time. (Evid. Code, 352.) We review such evidentiary decisions for abuse of discretion. (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124.) Objections to the exclusion of evidence are forfeited unless adequately raised in the trial court. (Evid. Code, 354.)
