noting that “it is the role of the jury-not the court-to assess the credibility of witness testimony”
upholding refusal to include a separate good faith charge because the court’s willfulness charge captured the essence of a good faith defense
finding no error in district court’s exclusions of statements by a declarant who had offered “inconsistent stories,” suggesting a “risk of fabrication”
requiring assessment of challenged jury charge “taken as a whole, in order to determine whether there is a reasonable likelihood that the jury misinterpreted the reasonable doubt instruction” (emphasis in original)
finding no abuse of discretion and 16 affirming exclusion of evidence where appellant argued “that unsworn statements made during an 17 investigation [we]re more reliable than a sworn statement made as part of a later plea bargain”
“The evidence in question … was attested to as authentic by a Senior Inspector in the Customs Depart- ment whose signature was verified by the Deputy Attorney General of the Republic of Malta.”
