The following excerpt is from People v. Pickens, E056562 (Cal. App. 2013):
prejudice or damage to a defense that naturally flows from probative evidence; rather, it is evidence that "'"uniquely tends to evoke an emotional bias against the defendant as an individual and which has very little effect on the issues."'" (People v. Gionis (1995) 9 Cal.4th 1196, 1214.)
