Jose Angel Torres v. United States
FifthAmendment Securities
Is a Defendant denied a Fair Trial when a District Court Finds that additional video evidence is admissible under the Rule of Completeness to prevent the jury from being misled by the Government but is prevented from presenting the evidence because it is considered hearsay?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Is a Defendant denied a Fair Trial when a District Court Finds that additional video evidence is admissible under the Rule of Completeness to prevent the jury from being misled by the Government but is prevented from presenting the evidence because it is considered hearsay? If a District Court makes an error of law, does a circuit court err under the abuse of discretion standard when it concludes that such error is not substantial? Is the Rule of Completeness, including Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, subject to a hearsay analysis?
