032451P.pdf 02/16/2005 United States v. Gary Lee Wipf
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 03-2451
District of Minnesota
Criminal case - criminal law. Since the child victims in this case
testified, admission of their statements to a psychologist did not violate
defendant's Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause rights; even the
psychologist's testimony was inadmissible hearsay, it was merely
cumulative evidence and any error in its admission was harmless; district
court did not abuse its discretion in limiting defendant's cross-
examination of one of the victims as the questioning touched on
unsupported allegations; there was sufficient attenuation between any
illegality in a search and the testimony of a victim identified by some of
the seized materials so that the witness's testimony was admissible;
defendant's admissions were not in response to custodial interrogation
and were admissible; Sixth Amendment does not require jurors to be
summoned from a particular division of the district.
