Text: 15 We review the district court's admission or exclusion of evidence for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Perry, 438 F.3d 642, 647 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, ___ U.S. ___, 126 S.Ct. 2045, 164 L.Ed.2d 799 (2006). At the same time, [i]n reviewing a trial court's evidentiary determinations, this court reviews de novo the court's conclusions of law and reviews for clear error the court's factual determinations that underpin its legal conclusions. United States v. Baker, 458 F.3d 513, 516 (6th Cir.2006) (internal quotation marks omitted). These standards are not in fact inconsistent, because `it is an abuse of discretion to make errors of law or clear errors of factual determination.' Id. at 517 (quoting United States v. McDaniel, 398 F.3d 540, 544 (6th Cir.2005)). 16
