Evidence Exclusion Criteria

Summary

Judges exclude evidence based on three main criteria: relevance, reliability, and prejudice. Relevance ensures the evidence is directly related to the case. Reliability assesses the trustworthiness and credibility of the evidence. Prejudice considers whether the evidence might cause unfair bias or mislead the jury. Understanding these criteria is crucial for legal proceedings.
