Does the abuse of discretion standard apply to a ruling by the appellate court on the admissibility of evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Sissac, D064910 (Cal. App. 2015):

"[A]n appellate court applies the abuse of discretion standard of review to any ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of evidence." (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 717.) We will not disturb the trial court's exercise of discretion except upon a showing that it "exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice." (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 9-10.)
