Is a trial court's decision to admit or exclude evidence reviewable for abuse of discretion?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Durham, F058573, Super. Ct. No. F08600722 (Cal. App. 2011):
A trial court's decision to admit or exclude evidence is reviewable for an abuse of discretion. The court's ruling will not be disturbed in the absence of a showing that it exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a miscarriage of justice. (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 9-10.)
