This motion is addressed to sound judicial discretion, exercised after a consideration of all factors necessary to a just result. The court's decision will not be an abuse of discretion unless it exceeds the bounds of reason. (Mendieta v. Municipal Court (1980) 109 Cal.App.3d 290, 294; People v. Waters (1975) 52 Cal.App.3d 323, 328; People v. McDonough (1961) 198 Cal.App.2d 84, 90.) In determining whether its ruling will "promote justice," the court is required to consider the rights of the People.
