The following excerpt is from People v. Raygoza, H038662 (Cal. App. 2014):
Compared to the lengthy testimony detailing appellant's sexual molestation of his stepdaughters, the testimony regarding appellant's physical abuse was brief. Any prejudice from the evidence was not undue, but was merely the type that naturally flows from the nature of appellant's conduct. As such, the trial court committed no error in admitting the evidence. (cf. People v. Harris (1998) 60 Cal.App.4th 727, 737 [painting a person faithfully is not, of itself, unfair].)
