United States of America, and v. Toney Bissett Ford, and Cross-Appellee

How courts have described this case

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

• upholding the district court’s ruling allowing the jury to be informed that the witness had a felony conviction, but excluding the specific nature of the offense—a sex offense against a minor—as overly prejudicial
• “The introduction of [the witness’s] specific felony could easily have distracted the jury from its task without adding any real probative information to their deliberations.”
