United States v. H. Daniel Whitman

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the danger of prejudice from admitting a recording of a co-conspirator and an informant planning a murder did not substantially outweigh the probative value of helping the jury understand other evidence
• noting that \[t]he district court has broad discretion to determine whether evidence is relevant\ and that \the court has discretion to admit or deny motive evidence\
• error to prevent defendant from rebutting evidence introduced by the government from which jury might infer motive
• no error where informant’s recorded statements were only offered “to show that they were made,” and to put the statements in context, rather than for their truth
