California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Leavitt, F059367, Super. Ct. No. MF49347 (Cal. App. 2011):
On appeal, we apply an 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, 724.) Based on our review, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting this evidence.
