Answer 1

The evidence is unduly prejuidice, even if evidence is relevant could be refused by the judge if it confuse or missleads the judge.

The evidence is hypothecial, this evidence is not deemed to be relevant as it makes to assume situation that has not actually happened.

The evidence might be offensive, this evidence is irrelevant because it is not the correct way of evidence as it causes anger.

The evidence is narrative, it cannot be deemed as evidence when somone else narrating the evidence.
