Mariana R. v. Sandy A.
Mariana R. obtained a restraining order under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA) (Fam. Code, § 6200 et seq.) against her stepsister, Sandy A., after Sandy and one of Sandy's friends confronted Mariana at Mariana's school and threatened Mariana with bodily harm. Sandy appeals, contending we must reverse the order because the court erroneously excluded recorded remarks of a percipient witness stating she and Mariana lied about the incident. More particularly, Sandy contends the remarks were admissible as statements against interest under Evidence Code section 1230 and were not more prejudicial than probative under Evidence Code section 352. We conclude the court did not err in excluding the recorded remarks and affirm the order.
