When will a court review a decision to admit evidence that is claimed to be prejudicial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Wanton, D056956, D057264 (Cal. App. 2011):
When reviewing a decision to admit evidence that is claimed to be prejudicial we apply the abuse of discretion standard of review, and will only set aside the conviction where the trial court's decision was arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd. (People v. Greenberger (1998) 58 Cal.App.4th 298, 352; People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124.)
