What is the test for overturning a finding of admissibility of evidence on appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sanchez v. Molina, F059653, Super. Ct. No. 07CECG00669 (Cal. App. 2011):
Generally, a trial court's ruling on the admissibility of evidence is reviewed for abuse of discretion. (Pannu v. Land Rover North America, Inc. (2011) 191 Cal.App.4th 1298, 1317.) Thus, the ruling is subject to reversal on appeal only where the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason. (Shamblin v. Brattain (1988) 44 Cal.3d 474, 478.)
