   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2181
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bye and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - conviction. District court did not abuse its discretion in excluding cross-examination testimony that would have elicited inadmissible hearsay testimony. Although defendant claimed statement was offered for limited purpose of showing the investigation was not thoroughly conducted, statement reveals investigation was not thorough only if the statement were true and thus was offered for the truth of the matter and constituted hearsay. Even if error, the error was harmless.
