How have courts reviewed a court's ruling on the admissibility of evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Torres, G058849, G059325 (Cal. App. 2021):
A court's ruling on the admissibility of evidence is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. (People v. McCurdy (2014) 59 Cal.4th 1063, 1095.) "Specifically, we will not disturb a trial court's admissibility ruling "'except on a showing the trial court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice.'"" (People v. Morales (2020) 10 Cal.5th 76, 97.)
