Does the hearsay rule need to be interpreted as a matter of law?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from US v. Olafson, 213 F.3d 435 (9th Cir. 2000):
Whether the district court correctly construed the hearsay rule is a question of law that we review de novo. United States v. Collicott, 92 F.3d 973, 978 (9th Cir.1996). We review a district court's decision to admit evidence under a hearsay exception and its decision to grant or deny a deposition under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 15(a) for abuse of discretion. Id.; see also United States v. Hernandez-Escarsega, 886 F.2d 1560, 1569 (9th Cir.1989).
