8. Under the rule allowing exclusion of relevant evidence because its probative value is substantially outweighed by other considerations, which of the following is NOT to be considered?

C is correct. Relevant evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, misleading the jury, or undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence. Only this answer does not deal with any of those considerations and instead deals with the exclusion of evidence-based on potential discovery violations.

A is incorrect. Juror confusion of the issues is a consideration in determining whether to exclude relevant evidence.

B is incorrect. Unfair prejudice on the part of the jury is also a consideration in determining whether to exclude relevant evidence.

D is incorrect. Waste of time and needless presentation of trivial evidence is also a consideration in determining whether to exclude relevant evidence.
