California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nava, F065082, F068148 (Cal. App. 2014):
As the victim's statement was admissible under at least one exception to the hearsay rule, the trial court's admission of the evidence must be upheld. (People v. Brown (2004) 33 Cal.4th 892, 901 ["If a judgment rests on admissible evidence it will not be reversed because the trial court admitted that evidence upon a different theory, a mistaken theory, or one not raised below"].)
