Definition of “relevant evidence.”

“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. Advisory Committee’s Notes This rule is identical to the corresponding Federal Rule of Evidence and to the relevancy rule adopted by the overwhelming majority of states that have adopted modern evidence rules. The test of logical relevancy set forth in Rule 401 is a liberal one. Evidence is to be admitted if it possesses “any tendency,” in logic or experience, to lead to the fact or inference for which it is offered. The standard of probability under the rule is “more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.”
