The following excerpt is from People v. McDonald, D074878 (Cal. App. 2020):
A trial court's decision to admit or exclude evidence is reviewed for abuse of discretion and will not be disturbed on appeal 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. Wall (2017) 3 Cal.5th 1048, 1069.)
