M. R. Evid. 608

A district court has broad discretion to determine whether evidence is relevant and admissible.  State v. MacKinnon, 1998 MT 78, ¶ 12, 288 Mont. 329, 957 P.2d 23.  A district court's evidentiary ruling is reviewed for abuse of discretion.  State v. Maier, 1999 MT 51, ¶ 13, 293 Mont. 403, 977 P.2d 298.   A district court abuses its discretion if it acts arbitrarily or exceeds the bounds of reason resulting in substantial injustice.  State v. Doyle, 2007 MT 125, ¶ 43, 337 Mont. 308, 160 P.3d 515.
