Lannister’s alleged sexual relations with Jamie Lannister and other men. It is without question that the prosecution intends to present this evidence as a means of emotionally harassing Ms. Lannister and to provoke a visceral response from the Jury. Furthermore, this evidence and testimony are irrelevant to the legal matter at hand. As such, this court should exclude the reference, mention, evidence, or testimony concerning Defendant Cersei Lannister’s extramarital affair(s) for its inconsequential nature and the likelihood that this evidence will contribute to significantly biasing Ms. Lannister’s defense. It is within the legal rights of a party to limit the presentation of harmful evidence solely as a means of character assassination towards the plaintiff. See California Evidence Code Sections 352 and 1101 (a). Purposely, an in limine motion is paramount to upholding the impartial nature of the Triers of Fact by preventing irrelevant and harmful information to influence the jury even when stricken from the record. (High Sparrow v. Tyrell 83 Cal.App.2d 425, 443 (1953))
