What’s to discuss? It’s prejudicial. The only way it wouldn’t be is if everyone in the court had ash on their foreheads.

Was the case about religion? How is the display of ashes prejudicial in a criminal or civil case NOT involving religion?

[Federal] Rule 403. Exclusion of Relevant Evidence on Grounds of Prejudice, Confusion or Waste of Time:
Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.
