The following excerpt is from People v. Bailey, B241079 (Cal. App. 2013):
On appeal, we review the trial court's decision to admit evidence under the abuse of discretion standard. (People v. Hovarter (2008) 44 Cal.4th 983, 1007-1008.) An abuse of discretion occurs when the trial court's ruling falls outside the bounds of reason. (People v. Benavides (2005) 35 Cal.4th 69, 88.)
