## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- observing that the abuse-of-discretion standard also “protects to a limited degree the trial court’s ‘right’ to be wrong without suffering appellate revision” when the trial court’s error is not prejudicial or does not result in injury
- describing ways in which a court can abuse its discretion
- discussing extensively the abuse of discretion standard

## Opinion text

ABOUSSIE, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in this Court’s judgment. The trial court, however, should not be required to explain its reasoning and decision-making process in reaching a result each time it exercises its discretion, or else that authority is erroded.
