   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1504
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. No error in joining defendant's
   prosecution with the prosecution of her husband or in denying her motion
   to sever where the district court was careful to instruct the jury about
   compartmentalizing the evidence; defendant was not denied her right to
   an impartial jury; the trial court disclosed a ministerial ex parte contact
   with the jury and a remand for an evidentiary hearing was not required;
   evidence was sufficient to support defendant's convictions for conspiracy
   to obstruct the investigation of her husband's involvement with a
   bombing and for aiding and abetting tampering with evidence.
