   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3184
                          and No:  07-3359
   District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Riley and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. The district court did not err in excluding
   some of defendants' documentary evidence in this tax evasion
   prosecution; to the extent any of the documents were relevant, they were
   cumulative; challenges to jury instructions rejected, as the instructions
   defendants requested were not accurate statements of the applicable law;
   district court's comments during trial did not deprive defendant's of a fair
   trial, and were, for the most part, comments simply related to the orderly
   administration of the proceedings; district court's questions to certain
   witnesses were needed to clarify testimony and draw out the facts
   necessary for a clear presentation of the issues.
