How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- explaining that while a district court “retains broad-ranging discretion to manage trials and limit proof[,] . . . its discretion must be balanced by the need to give the government adequate latitude to prove its case”
- noting that intrinsic evidence “should be excluded only sparingly” under Rule 403
- finding an abuse of discretion where the district court limited the Government’s evidence such that Government could not offer sufficient proof of certain elements of the crime
- “[E]vidence of financial gain is particularly probative in a fraud case to establish the defendant’s intent to defraud.”
- abuse of discretion to exclude post-scheme conduct showing guilty mind
