The following excerpt is from People v. Taylor, D065427 (Cal. App. 2015):
When we review a trial court's decision on a motion to suppress evidence we first consider the historical facts set forth in the record. We must decide whether the trial court's factual findings are supported by applying the substantial evidence standard of review. Once we determine the historical facts, we independently determine the legal consequences of those facts. (People v. Zamudio (2008) 43 Cal.4th 327, 342.)
