U.S. v. Gorman

In prosecution on perjury charge arising out of defendant's testimony in grand jury proceeding in which defendant falsely denied having cousin's Bentley in defendant's garage, Dist. Ct. did not err in admitting evidence of defendant's subsequent theft of Bentley from defendant's garage, even though defendant argued that admission of said evidence violated Rule 404(b). While Dist. Ct. held that admission of said evidence was proper under inextricable intertwinement doctrine, said doctrine is no longer appropriate basis for said admission. However, admission of said evidence was proper as direct evidence of defendant's false grand jury testimony.
