In what circumstances will the trial court exercise discretion in requiring a prosecutor to disclose to defense counsel the portions of a video he intended to display to the jury?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Vasquez, B300560 (Cal. App. 2020):

In sum, we find no abuse of discretion.⁴ Here, the trial court ordered the prosecutor to disclose to defense counsel the portions of the video he intended to display to the jury. We find the trial court properly exercised its discretion to craft an appropriate remedy to ameliorate the effects of the late disclosure. (People v. Jenkins (2000) 22 Cal.4th 900, 952 [courts have broad discretion to craft a remedy for a discovery violation to address any potential prejudice suffered by a party].)
