Is a defendant's right to plead not to admit or deny the evidence against him in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Desisto, B262564 (Cal. App. 2016):
The record establishes the trial court carefully made a reasoned decision. Defendant has failed to establish that the court acted arbitrarily or beyond the bounds of reason. Defendant's constitutional rights were not violated by admission of the evidence. (People v. Boyette (2002) 29 Cal.4th 381, 427-428 ["'"[a]pplication of the ordinary rules of evidence . . . does not impermissibly infringe on a defendant's right to present a defense"'"].)
