051482P.pdf 02/03/2006 USA v. Jeffrey Bordeaux
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-1482
District of South Dakota
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
convictions for conspiracy to distribute drugs and for carrying a firearm
while trafficking; presentation of drug items as a single exhibit in
violation of the court's order did not require a mistrial, as the court took
prompt remedial action by having the exhibits re-numbered before the
jury and admitted separately; district court did not err in refusing to grant
defendant's proposed witnesses immunity from prosecution as their
proposed testimony was not exculpatory; trial court's failure to strike a
single reference to the "truthful testimony" requirement in cooperating
witness's immunity agreement was not plain error.
