043306P.pdf   10/04/2005  United States  v.  James Naiden
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3306
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not err in refusing to
   admit a hearsay statement defendant allegedly made to a third party to the
   effect that he did not believe the person he had an e-mail correspondence
   with was actually 14 years old; the statement was not substantially
   contemporaneous with defendant's communications with his
   correspondent and was not reliable; even if refusal to admit the statement
   was error, the evidence was overwhelming that defendant actually did
   believe the correspondent was a minor. Judge Bye, concurring.
