The following excerpt is from People v. Reynolds, A148131 (Cal. App. 2017):
A trial court's decision to admit or exclude evidence under section 352, which requires a balancing of the probative value against prejudicial effect, is a matter committed to its discretion " ' "and will not be disturbed except on a showing the trial court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice." ' " (People v. Geier (2007) 41 Cal.4th 555, 585.) Such a showing cannot arguably be made in this case.
