the trial court and will not be disturbed on appeal absent an abuse of that
discretion."); Rule 401, SCRE ("'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."); Rule 403, SCRE ("Although relevant, evidence may be
excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair
prejudice . . . ."); State v. Brooks, 341 S.C. 57, 62, 533 S.E.2d 325, 328 (2000)
