How courts have described this case

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

holding that notes found in the trash outside the defendant’s residence were properly authenticated
holding that sufficient evidence existed for the jury to find that notes were authored by the defendant, despite the government's inability to establish fully the defendant's authorship by expert opinion
explaining that “other evidence” presented to the jury may establish the erroneously admitted fact, thus rendering the error harmless
allowing the authentication of a handwritten note purportedly signed by-defendant without any direct testimony that it was the defendant's handwriting based on where the letter was found and the contents of the letter
treating defendant’s prior conviction as a felony for purposes of § 841 even though state later statutorily reduced underlying offense to a misdemeanor, without enacting any individualized reclassification process
noting “confusion . . . likely to result if . . . sentencing court[s] had to analyze the status of every prior state conviction in terms of the status of state law”
