United States v. Alcantara, No. 15-2061 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to pass counterfeit currency. Defendant appealed, alleging five purported evidentiary errors that he failed to raise below, two arguably preserved evidentiary challenges, and an unpreserved claim of prosecutorial misconduct. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) Defendant’s unpreserved evidentiary challenges did not rise to the level of plain error; (2) the remaining evidentiary rulings were not an abuse of the district court’s discretion; and (3) assuming that the prosecutor acted improperly, there was no plain error.
