Section 400.665 - Relevant Evidence

a) Definition. "Relevant evidence" means evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence. (Il. Mil. R. Evid. 401)

b) General Admissibility of Relevant Evidence

1) All relevant evidence is admissible, except as otherwise provided by law.

2) Evidence that is not relevant is not admissible. (Il. Mil. R. Evid. 402)

c) Exclusion of Relevant Evidence on Grounds of Prejudice, Confusion or Waste of Time Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the members, or by considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence. (Il. Mil. R. Evid. 403)
