Does the application of "ordinary rules of evidence" such as section 352 of California Evidence Code section 352 violate a defendant's constitutional rights?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Brooks, No. A124664 (Cal. App. 2011):
As defendant implicitly acknowledges in his discussion of California statutory and case law, the application of "ordinary rules of evidence," such as Evidence Code section 352, "generally does not deprive the defendant of the opportunity to present a defense . . . ." (People v. Snow (2003) 30 Cal.4th 43, 90.) Thus, a court's proper application of these rules does not violate a defendant's constitutional rights.
