• finding that suspect with low IQ knowingly and intelligently waived rights where the interrogating officers testified that the suspect understood the questions and her rights
• concluding the district court did not clearly err in determining that waiver and consent were knowingly and voluntarily provided when the defendant’s IQ score was in the mid-70s
• finding newly discovered evidence purporting to establish victim’s involvement in drug operations irrelevant to defendants’ conviction for murdering her
• finding FBI agent impermissibly opined concerning star witness’ veracity and effectiveness of agency’s interrogation techniques rather than “properly [testifying] as to the actions he took to corroborate [the witness’] testimony”
• “[Ejvidence ... ultimately offered to prove guilt of the charged offense[] effects no constructive amendment of the indictment”
