The following excerpt is from People v. King, B293326 (Cal. App. 2020):
We review a trial court's decision to admit or exclude evidence for abuse of discretion. (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 9-10 (Rodriguez).) When a trial court commits an evidentiary error, the error is harmless if it does not appear reasonably probable the verdict was affected. (Ibid.)
