Is a hit and run a crime of moral turpitude?

Defendant notes that People v. Bautista, supra, 217 Cal.App.3d 1, "held that felony hit and run was a crime involving moral turpitude, but did not reach the question regarding misdemeanor conduct." (Id. at pp. 5-7.) But defendant does not challenge the court's ruling that the offense of hit and run regardless of whether it involves personal injury or solely property damage is a crime of moral turpitude. Instead, defendant assumes for purposes of argument that misdemeanor hit and run is a crime of moral turpitude, but the court failed to exercise its discretion to exclude the evidence under Evidence Code section 352, and that had it done so, the evidence should have been excluded.
