“[f]air consideration must be given to the context in which the remarks were made and to the overall factual circumstances to which they referred.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]ts probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury .... Whether evidence should be excluded as unduly prejudicial or confusing rests within the sound discretion of the trial court .... The. trial court’s ruling in this regard may only be reversed for an abuse of discretion that was so arbitrary that it could not have been the result of a reasoned decision.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In criminal cases, a question which was not preserved by objection as noted at trial and which is not deemed preserved by rule or law without any such action, nevertheless may be made the basis of an assignment of error where the judicial action questioned is specifically and distinctly contended to amount to plain error.”
