There are a lot of things to balance when deciding which evidence is admissible.

"Relevant" is very broad, but if the prosecution doesn't really need the evidence to prove the case, and if it makes the defendant look bad, it can't come in.

"Ladies and gentlement of the jury.I will prove that the defendant shoplifted this garment. By the way, he also tortures kittens."

OBJECTION! The torturing kittens is not relevant to the charge of shoplifting.
