United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Dion Pernell Jones, Defendant-appellant, 37 F.3d 1507 (9th Cir. 1994)

MEMORANDUM^** 

1. The District Court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to admit Holiday's letters into evidence. Even if the letters were prior inconsistent statements, any error in refusing to admit them was harmless, because the jury had enough evidence to evaluate Holiday's credibility. Jones read the pertinent contents of the letters into evidence, and presented a witness to impeach Holiday. See United States v. Lashmett, 965 F.2d 179, 182-83 (7th Cir. 1992).

2. The District Court didn't err in admitting the rehabilitation testimony of Holiday's former lawyer. He testified only as to the veracity of Holiday's statements, not to her character. See GER 204-05.

AFFIRMED.
