The following excerpt is from People v. Miroskins, E070567 (Cal. App. 2019):
The abuse of discretion standard of review applies to any trial court ruling on the admissibility of evidence. (People v. Guera (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1113.) Discretion is abused when a court exceeds the bounds of reason when all circumstances are considered. (People v. Giminez (1975) 14 Cal.3d 68, 72.) On appeal, defendant has failed to address the abuse of discretion standard of review and simply treats the appeal as a new forum to argue his in limine motion.
