California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Chiles, B280041 (Cal. App. 2018):

A trial court's ruling on the admission or exclusion of evidence under Evidence Code section 352 will not be disturbed on appeal "except on a showing that the court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice." (People v. Jordan (1986) 42 Cal.3d 308, 316.)
