California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Aguilar, B267955 (Cal. App. 2018):
"A trial court has broad discretion to exclude relevant evidence under Evidence Code section 352 'if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will (a) necessitate undue consumption of time or (b) create substantial danger of undue prejudice, of confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury.' [Citations.] Such 'discretion extends to the admission or exclusion of expert testimony.' [Citations.] We review rulings regarding relevancy and Evidence Code section 352 under an abuse of discretion standard." (People v. Linton, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 1181.)
