132195P.pdf   05/27/2015  United States  v.  Mahamud Said Omar
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2195
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Because the witnesses who were already familiar with defendant were asked an open-ended question about whether they knew him, the identification technique uses here did not create a substantial likelihood of misidentification, and the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress the witnesses' identifications of him at trial; the district court did not err in determining not to disclose FISA materials to defendant and not to suppress the FISA-derived evidence that was admitted at trial; no error in admitting testimony from the government's expert witness on terrorism on the links between al Shabaab and other terror groups and global jihad, as the evidence was relevant and its probative value was not outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
