The following excerpt is from People v. Hernandez, H046124 (Cal. App. 2020):
We apply "the abuse of discretion standard of review to any ruling by a trial court on the admissibility of evidence, including one that turns on the hearsay nature of the evidence in question . . . ." (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 725.) " '[W]hen a trial court's decision rests on an error of law, that decision is an abuse of discretion.' [Citation.]" (People v.
