U.S. v. Diaz

Defendant was convicted of two related federal drug-trafficking crimes. On appeal, he asserted several constitutional and evidentiary errors, including that the district court’s admission of grand jury testimony violated his right to confrontation and that the district court erred in admitting audio recordings without sufficient foundation for their veracity. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that defendant’s arguments lacked merit. (EASTERBROOK and KOLAR, concurring)
