Can an evidentiary ruling be reversed if the trial court admitted or denied evidence of abuse of discretion?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Henly, D049072 (Cal. App. 12/10/2007), D049072 (Cal. App. 2007):
Henly contends that the trial court erred in admitting this evidence. We review the trial court's rulings for an abuse of discretion (People v. Lewis (2001) 25 Cal.4th 610, 637) and will not reverse an evidentiary ruling unless the appellant demonstrates a manifest abuse of that discretion. (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 9-10.)
