United States v. Pantelis Antonakeas, AKA Alexx Antaeus

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that, under analogous Federal Rules of Evidence, testimony during direct examination in defendant = s case-in-chief created a false impression that defendant had a history of non-involvement with illegal drugs
• declining to consider issue raised for the first time on appeal
• rejecting challenge where the evidence failed to prove the indictment’s specific claim that the defendant conspired to distribute cocaine in Hawaii because a nexus to Hawaii “was in no way essential to the offense on which the jury convicted” (citation omitted)
• no fatal vari- ance where the evidence at trial covered the facts and time frame alleged in indictment
• “‘Direct-examination testimony containing a broad disclaimer of misconduct sometimes can open the door for extrinsic evidence to contradict even though the contradictory evidence is otherwise inadmissible under Rules 404 and 608(b) and is, thus, collateral.’”
• “Admission of rebuttal evidence is reviewed for abuse of discretion.”
