We review a trial court's ruling on the admissibility of evidence under the abuse of discretion standard. (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal. 4th 690, 723.) The trial court's rulings "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]."
