Relevant Evidence

Rule 401 of the Arizona Rules of Evidence reads: “Evidence is relevant if: (a) it has any tendency to make a fact more or less probable than it would be without the evidence; and(b) the fact is of consequence in determining the action..” Relevant evidence, nonetheless, may be inadmissible, under Rule 403 of Arizona Rules of Evidence, if its “probative value is substantially outweighed by a danger of one or more of the following: unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the jury, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.” See Material, Material Evidence, Consequential Fact, Probative Value, and Relevancy Objection.
