What is the test for admitting photographs of a victim of sexual abuse?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Chong, B237494 (Cal. App. 2013):
A trial court has broad discretion to admit purportedly gruesome or inflammatory photographs of a victim, and the court's decision will not be disturbed on appeal unless the probative value of the photographs clearly is outweighed by their prejudicial effect. (People v. Mills (2010) 48 Cal.4th 158, 191.)
