How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that the corresponding federal rule of evidence “reflects the more general principle that “leading questions are usually permissible on cross- examination and impermissible on direct examination” (quotation simplified)
• excluding settlement evidence because “[a] jury confronted with technical and often confusing accounting terminology may be particularly tempted to reason that, because one co-Defendant settled, all three must have committed the alleged wrongs”
• permitting limited inquiry into a witness’s settlement to show bias
