Can a defendant argue that a statement made by defendant to a witness was inadmissible under the California Evidence Code?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Morgan, B283556 (Cal. App. 2018):
Defendant also argues that the statement amounted to inadmissible character evidence under Evidence Code section 1101, which eroded his credibility. However, defendant's relevance and Evidence Code section 352 objections failed to preserve his claim that the trial court admitted the evidence in violation of Evidence Code section 1101. (People v. Doolin (2009) 45 Cal.4th 390, 437.)
