What is the standard of review applied to a ruling by the appellate court on the admissibility of evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Guire, F070326 (Cal. App. 2017):

"[A]n appellate court applies 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, 717.) "Under the abuse of discretion 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. Hovarter (2008) 44 Cal.4th 983, 1004; see People v. Kipp (1998) 18 Cal.4th 349, 371 ["A court abuses its discretion when its ruling 'falls outside the bounds of reason.' "].)
