What types of responses from the examiner would justify an admission or exclusion of the evidence? (Note that "Yes/No" responses from the examiner are not sufficient - you will need to explain/justify the examiner's hypothetical response)

What legal standard would you likely be applying to make your determination, and how does that differ from the legal standard you would have applied if you were overseeing the same case in 1970?
