California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mejia, G056473 (Cal. App. 2019):
The trial court's decision to admit evidence of the defendant's prior misconduct under these provisions is reviewed under the deferential abuse-of-discretion standard. (People v. Foster (2010) 50 Cal.4th 1301, 1328-1329.) We will not reverse that decision unless the trial court acted in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a miscarriage of justice. (Ibid.)
