What is the test for abuse of judicial review of a trial court's rulings?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Barker, B233873 (Cal. App. 2013):
As before, we review the trial court's rulings deferentially, finding an abuse of discretion only upon a showing that the court's decision was made in an "arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. [Citation.]" (People v. Guerra, supra, 37 Cal.4th at p. 1113.)
