061240P.pdf   02/28/2007  USA  v.  Jerome Bass
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1240
   District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal Case - new trial. District court's grant of a new trial based on
   use of perjured testimony is reversed. There being no evidence that the
   government knew the witness's testimony was perjured, defendant's due
   process rights were not violated. Assuming grant of new trial was based
   on district court's conclusion that verdict was against the weight of the
   evidence, district court abused its discretion in granting new trial in light
   of overwhelming evidence supporting verdict.
