U.S. v. Jamison

In prosecution on charge of unlawful possession of sawed-off shotgun, Dist. Ct. did not err in permitting govt. to elicit testimony from defendant's wife regarding defendant's aggressiveness, even though defendant argued that said evidence was improper under Rule 403. Defendant's wife gave testimony about ownership of shotgun that conflicted with her pre-trial statement indicating that defendant had owned gun, and evidence of defendant's aggressiveness was relevant with respect to wife's credibility and was offered as potential explanation for wife's inconsistent statements in light of fact that wife was still living with defendant.
