What is the standard of review applied in cases involving abuse of discretion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Henderson, H046281 (Cal. App. 2020):

We "appl[y] the abuse of discretion standard of review to any ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of evidence." (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 723.) "Under this standard, a trial court's ruling will not be disturbed, and reversal of the judgment is not required, unless the trial court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. [Citation.]" (People v. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1113, overruled on another ground in People v. Rundle (2008) 43 Cal.4th 76, 151.)
