What is the test for "persuasiveness or forcefulness" in a criminal case?

persuasiveness or forcefulness. [Citations.] '[A] criminal defendant may not stipulate or admit his way out of the full evidentiary force of the case as the Government chooses to present it.' (Old Chief v. United States (1997) 519 U.S. 172, 186-187 [136 L.Ed.2d 574].)" (People v. Rogers (2013) 57 Cal.4th 296, 329-330.)

(Id. at p. 330 [mens rea for first degree murder].)
