Does a party's out-of-court statement qualify under the party admissions exception to the hearsay rule?

We reject defendant's argument. As to hearsay statements that qualify under the party admissions exception to the hearsay rule (Evid.Code 1220 ), "[w]e have long recognized that ... persons are often unable " to state the exact language of an admission. " ' [Citations.] This recognition, however, does not automatically render any statements of a party inadmissible...." (People v. Riccardi (2012) 54 Cal.4th 758, 832, 144 Cal.Rptr.3d 84, 281 P.3d 1.) Nor does ambiguity regarding the meaning of a party's out-of-court statement automatically render the party admissions exception inapplicable. (People v. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1122, 40 Cal.Rptr.3d 118, 129 P.3d 321 ;
