The following excerpt is from People v. Wolfe, B305833 (Cal. App. 2021):
The fact that some of this evidence was hearsay did not render it inadmissible or incompetent. As set forth above, a trial court has expansive discretion as to the type of information and calculation methods that may be used in determining restitution. (Phu, supra, 179 Cal.App.4th at p. 283; see People v. Prosser (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 682, 691-692.) And section 1203.1d, subdivision (d) expressly prohibits exclusion of documentary evidence on hearsay grounds in determining restitution.
