No judgment shall be reversed on account of the erroneous exclusion of evidence unless it appears, upon examining the entire cause including the evidence, a miscarriage of justice has occurred. A miscarriage of justice should be declared only when the reviewing court is convinced after an examination of the entire case, including the evidence, that it is reasonably probable a result more favorable to the appellant would have been reached absent the error. (In re Marriage of Smith (1978) 79 Cal.App.3d 725, 751.) Expressed another way, where a trial court's ruling does not constitute a refusal to allow the defendant to present a defense, but merely rejected certain evidence concerning the defense, the ruling does not constitute a violation of due process. In that situation, the appropriate standard of review is whether it is reasonably probable the admission of the evidence would have resulted in a verdict more favorable to the defendant. (People v. Espinoza (2002) 95 Cal.App.4th 1287, 1317.)
