STATE v. WESLEY (2022)

Writ application granted. See per curiam.

Writ granted. It is well settled that “[t]he trial court is accorded great discretion in evidentiary rulings and, absent a clear abuse of that discretion, rulings regarding the relevancy and admissibility of evidence will not be disturbed on appeal.” See, e.g., State v. Sandoval, 02-230 (La. App. 5 Cir. 2/25/03), 841 So.2d 977, 985, writ denied, 03-853 (La. 10/3/03), 855 So.2d 308. Here, a clear abuse of trial court's great discretion in evidentiary matters is not apparent. The court of appeal's ruling is reversed and the trial court's ruling is reinstated. Defendant will have an adequate remedy on appeal if convicted.

Crain, J., concurring in the grant and per curiam.
