U.S. v. Sanchez

In prosecution on charge of illegal reentry in U.S. without permission, Dist. Ct. did not abuse discretion in preventing defense counsel from stating during closing argument that jury could not convict defendant because he was never properly removed from U.S. in first instance because authorities removed defendant to wrong country. Location to which defendant had been removed was irrelevant to jury's determination as to whether defendant was guilty of charged offense, and record failed to contain any evidence indicating that defendant's reentry in to U.S. was warranted because of defendant's placement in wrong country.
