What is the test for admissibility of a statement under the California Evidence Code?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Powers, D072519 (Cal. App. 2018):
Although we review a trial court's decision regarding the admissibility of a statement under a particular provision of the Evidence Code for abuse of discretion, we review de novo the question whether a trial court correctly construed the Evidence Code provision, because that is a question of law. (See People v. Grimes (2016) 1 Cal.5th 698, pp. 711-712.)
