The following excerpt is from Yankey v. City of L. A., B257780 (Cal. App. 2015):
As we shall explain, we find the trial court did not abuse its discretion. (People v. Alvarez (1996) 14 Cal.4th 155, 201 [a trial court's admission or exclusion of evidence is reviewable for abuse of discretion].) Dontaze was a qualified witness and evidence of domestic violence against Yankey was not relevant to the relationship Dontaze may have had with his father. Having found no error in these individual evidentiary rulings, we also conclude their claimed cumulative effect did not deny the City a fair trial.
