California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ahmadzai, C065229, Super. Ct. No. 09F03286 (Cal. App. 2011):
"The rule is settled that the trial court's discretion to exclude or admit relevant evidence under Evidence Code section 352 ^is as broad as necessary to deal with the great variety of factual situations in which the issue arises, and in most instances the appellate courts will uphold its exercise whether the [evidence] is admitted or excluded.' [Citation.]" (People v. Kwolek (1995) 40 Cal.App.4th 1521, 1532.) This case does not present an abuse of discretion under Evidence Code section 352.
