The following excerpt is from People v. Johnson, F069414 (Cal. App. 2016):
An abuse of discretion standard is used to review a trial court's ruling on the admission or exclusion of evidence. (People v. DeHoyos (2013) 57 Cal.4th 79, 131.) To determine prejudice, we ask whether it is reasonably probable the jury would have reached a more favorable verdict in the absence of the evidentiary error. (Ibid.)
