In what circumstances will the court allow the prosecution to introduce a mug shot of defendant as evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Alston, C072773 (Cal. App. 2018):
Defendant argues the court erred in allowing the prosecution to introduce defendant's mug shot and refused to allow defendant "to enter any evidence of her temporary registration." Again, we will not disturb the trial court's determination under Evidence Code section 352 absent an abuse of discretion. (People v. Lewis (2001) 26 Cal.4th 334, 374.)
