What is the standard of review applied by appellate courts in cases involving abuse of discretion?

"[A]n appellate court applies the abuse of discretion standard of review to any ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of evidence, including, . . . one that turns on the relevance of the evidence in question." (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 723.)

Under this standard, a trial court's ruling will not be disturbed, and reversal of the judgment is not required, unless the trial court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 9-10.)
