What is the difference between relevant and irrelevant in evidence?

Relevant means that the evidence provided goes toward establishing whether a person met one or more of the required elements of a crime. Irrelevant means it does no have anything to do with proving any of those elements. Often an attorney will try to get irrelevant evidence introduced for other factors, such as showing prior crimes, or getting th sympathy of the jury, which may or may not be applicable to what is being tried.
