The following excerpt is from People v. Rhee, B263988 (Cal. App. 2016):
excluded if "its probative value is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will (a) necessitate undue consumption of time or (b) create substantial danger of undue prejudice, of confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury." (Evid. Code, 352.) We will not disturb a trial court's exercise of its discretion under Evidence Code section 352 absent a showing that such discretion was exercised " '. . . in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. [Citations.]' " (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124-1125.)
