What is the "abuse of standard" applied by appellate judges to review a ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of evidence of a handgun?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Theus, B207665 (Cal. App. 4/20/2009), B207665. (Cal. App. 2009):
"An appellate court applies the abuse of discretion standard to review any ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of the evidence, including a ruling on an Evidence Code section 352 objection. [Citation.]" (People v. Cox (2003) 30 Cal.4th 916, 955, disapproved on another ground in People v. Doolin (2009) 45 Cal.4th 390, 421, fn. 22.) Under that standard, we find no abuse of discretion in the admission of the photographs of the gun.
