Is a witness entitled to cross-examine at trial under the hearsay rule?

Before trial, Eslava moved to introduce the recording under the spontaneous-statement exception to the hearsay rule. (Evid. Code, 1240.) He argues that the trial court's exclusion of the recording denied him his constitutional rights to cross-examine witnesses, to present a defense, and to receive a fair trial. Whether a statement is spontaneous under section 1240, and thus " 'sufficiently trustworthy to be presented to the jury,' " is a question of fact for the trial court, and we review its ruling for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Poggi (1988) 45 Cal.3d 306, 318-319.)
