Description
PER CURIUM. Defendant appeals his conviction on one count of conspiracy to obstruct Justice and several counts of making false statements before a grand jury. Defendant first argues that the District Court erred in admitting taped conversations with co-conspirators and allowing the jury to use transcripts of these conversations. Specifically, defendant argues that the tapes were unintelligible, that the entire tapes should have been admitted rather than redacted versions, that the prosecution's transcript of the tape was inaccurate, and that the jury should not have been provided with the transcript during deliberations. In addition, defendant contends that the conversations were recorded in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Defendant further argues that the District Court should have allowed him to cross examine a government witness concerning the results of a polygraph examination. Finally, defendant alleges misconduct on the part of the prosecution during his trial. We affirm the District Court on all issues.
