Is a defendant entitled to confront and present a complete defense?

Defendant asserts the ruling violated his federal constitutional rights of confrontation and to present a complete defense. Evidence Code section 352 gives the trial court broad discretion to "exclude evidence 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." We do not disturb that discretion unless it was exercised in " 'an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice.' " (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124.)
