• holding that evidence of threats may be admissible where it is relevant to explain the witness's statements or conduct at trial
• holding that evidence of threats may be admissible where it is relevant to explain the witness's statements or conduct at trial
• finding that evidence was sufficient to convict the de- fendants but reversing the convictions and remanding for a new trial because improper jury instructions did not amount to harm- less error
• noting evidence of threats to witnesses was “offered as the fact of an assertion and not as [an] assertion of fact” and were therefore not hearsay
• a non-party to a forfeiture proceeding is not at risk and therefore jeopardy does not attach
