The following excerpt is from People v. Bradford, E063003 (Cal. App. 2016):
"We review a challenge to a trial court's choice to admit or exclude evidence under section 352 for abuse of discretion." (People v. Branch (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 274, 282.) The court's discretion in this context is "'"broad,"'" and will be upheld unless the court exercised its discretion "'in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice.'" (People v. Celis (2006) 141 Cal.App.4th 466, 476.)
