MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Somes, 968 F.2d 1222 (9th Cir. 1992):
Somes argues that Federal Rule of Evidence 403 precludes admission of several government exhibits because of their prejudicial effect. We review Rule 403 decisions for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Perkins, 937 F.2d 1397, 1400 (9th Cir.1991). The district court's evidentiary rulings are accorded considerable deference. United States v. Joetzki, 952 F.2d 1090, 1094 (9th Cir.1991).
