   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1043
                          and No:  08-1209
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. In prosecution for bankruptcy fraud, no
   error in admitting defendants' statements in bankruptcy court proceedings
   as the statements were clearly relevant to the issue of defendants' intent
   and the court gave a proper limiting instruction; court did not abuse its
   discretion in refusing to sever the defendants' cases, as defendant Cyril
   was not prejudiced or incriminated by defendant Rae's bankruptcy court
   filings; admission of the couple's bankruptcy attorney's testimony did not
   violate Rae's privilege against self-incrimination; evidence was sufficient
   to establish that defendants committed bankruptcy fraud by concealing
   assets and misrepresenting the value of their home.
