We review a trial court's admission of rebuttal evidence for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Young (2005) 34 Cal.4th 1149, 1199.) A trial court abuses its discretion when it "'exercise[s] its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that result[s] in a manifest miscarriage of justice.'" (People v.
