What is the test for a finding admitting or excluding evidence offered for impeachment for abuse of discretion?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Horton, H042319 (Cal. App. 2017):
We review a trial court's ruling admitting or excluding evidence offered for impeachment for abuse of discretion. A ruling admitting or excluding such impeachment evidence "will not be disturbed except on a showing the trial court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice [citation]" (People v. Rodriguez (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1, 9-10 (Rodriguez).)
