021244P.pdf   01/14/2003  United States  v.  Clarence W. Woodard
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1244
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not abuse its 
   discretion in permitting government to cross-examine defendant 
   about the disbursement of certain loan proceeds as the evidence 
   went to the financial condition of his business and reflected on 
   his credibility; district court did not err in giving a 
   deliberate-ignorance instruction; while instruction on conspiracy 
   omitted necessary language from the Eighth Circuit Model 
   Jury Instruction Sec. 5.06A, in light of the evidence of guilt 
   and the instructions as a whole, there was no plain error 
   requiring a new trial.
