The following excerpt is from People v. Linares, E068808 (Cal. App. 2019):
"The standard of review . . . of a trial court's ruling on a motion to suppress is well-established. We defer to the trial court's factual findings, express or implied, where supported by substantial evidence," and we review the legal conclusions de novo, exercising our independent judgment. (People v. Glaser (1995) 11 Cal.4th 354, 362.)
