Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the Court of Appeals err in upholding the District Court's joinder of counts related to one Hobbs Act robbery and witness tampering with unrelated Hobbs Act robbery counts?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Did the Court of Appeals err in upholding the District Court’s joinder, under Fed. R. Crim. P. 8, of counts in an indictment related to one Hobbs Act robbery, and witness tampering charges that flowed from it, with other counts in the indictment involving an unrelated Hobbs Act robbery which did not involve witness tampering? 2. Is the statement of facts read at the guilty plea hearing of a government witness admissible as substantive evidence under Fed. R. Evid. 801 (d)(1)(A) where the witness testifies inconsistently with the statement of facts at the defendant’s trial?
