How have courts reviewed the admissibility of uncharged sexual offense evidence on appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bonilla, F067224 (Cal. App. 2015):
The trial court's ruling on the admissibility of uncharged sexual offense evidence is reviewed for abuse of discretion. (People v. Carter (2005) 36 Cal.4th 1114, 1149.) Thus, it "'must not be disturbed on appeal except on a showing that the court exercised its

discretion in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice.'" (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124.)
