Does exclusion of any evidence that benefits a criminal defendant violate the Fourteenth Amendment or the due process clause?

Defendant offers no analysis or authority for the proposition that exclusion of any evidence that benefits a criminal defendant violates the Fourteenth Amendment or the due process clause.

In his reply brief, defendant cites authority for the correct proposition that ordinarily, the improper exclusion of evidence not amounting to a complete deprivation of a defense is measured under the state law standard of prejudice set forth in People v. Watson (1956) 56 Cal.2d 818, 836. (See
