U.S. v. Boswell

In prosecution on unlawful possession of firearm charge, Dist. Ct. did not err in allowing prosecutor to ask defendant origin of his firearm tattoo on his neck. Defendant had previously testified that he “did not mess with” firearms, and thus inquiry into his firearm tattoo was permissible impeachment. Moreover, admission of such evidence was not unfairly prejudicial, and other evidence, including defendant’s voice on recording that involved defendant's role in sale of two firearms, overwhelmingly established defendant’s guilt on charged offense.
