   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2600
                          and No:  08-2109
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Arnold and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not abuse its discretion
   in denying defendant's request to call additional witnesses to testify about
   defendant's out of court statements as the testimony would have been
   cumulative to evidence already admitted; any error in admitting evidence
   concerning defendant's weapons cache was harmless; any limitations on
   cross-examination of government witness Long to challenge her
   credibility were harmless as other evidence had been admitted for the
   same purpose; no error in limits on cross-examination of government
   witness Pospisli; jail house informant's testimony that defendant admitted
   failing a lie detector test about the murder at issue in the case was
   prejudicial and the prejudice was not cured by the court's instruction
   regarding the admissibility and reliability of lie detector tests; admission
   of impermissible evidence concerning the El Forasteros motorcycle was
   also grounds for a mistrial; case remanded for a new trial as a result of
   the these two evidentiary errors.
