Case and law context
Role: background; posture: Remand after conspiracy conviction; appeal focuses on materiality of excluded analogue evidence; result: remanded; claim:
Uncertainty
None recorded
Misfit
The trial-error issues concern analogue proof and testimony access, with instructions partly controlled by the earlier appeal. The object statute’s scientific knowledge issues do not collapse into a generic agreement finding.
Claimant outcome refers to the prosecuting government, not the defendant-appellant; remanded and mixed retain unresolved or split dispositions.
