The following excerpt is from People v. Bradford, D064873 (Cal. App. 2015):

We review a trial court's decision to admit expert testimony for abuse of discretion. The trial court's exercise of its discretion "is not grounds for reversal unless ' "the court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice." ' " (People v. Ochoa (2001) 26 Cal.4th 398, 437-438, abrogated on another ground in People v. Prieto (2003) 30 Cal.4th 226, 263, fn. 14.)
