United States v. Zulema Gonzalez, Patricia Delgado, Francisco Jose Arguello

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that the district court abused no discretion by admitting one defendant’s threat against a witness under Rule 404(b), where it instructed the jury that it could only consider the evidence against the defendant who made the threat
• analyzing a threat against a witness as consciousness-of-guilt evidence under Rule 404(b)
• presence of limiting instruction important in determination that district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting this evidence with respect to the defendants that did not make threats
• because the prejudice from evidence that defendant threatened the life of a witness may be great, the government must have an important purpose in introducing such evidence to satisfy the balancing test of Federal Rule 403
