What is the test for determining the relevance of evidence in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nunez, G044452, G045903 (Cal. App. 2012):
Other than citing the discretionary nature of evidentiary rulings (People v. Watson (2008) 43 Cal.4th 652, 692), the respondent's brief offers no cases supporting the court's ruling. "It has been said that a trial court is vested with wide discretion in determining the relevance of proffered evidence. [Citation.] However, it has also been said that in determining the admissibility of evidence proffered by a defendant in a criminal case, a trial court should give the defendant the benefit of any reasonable doubt.
