United States Sixth Circuit

Convictions for conspiracy to commit murder for hire resulting death are affirmed over claims that the district court erred by: 1) denying defendant's Rule 29 motion for acquittal; 2) allowing witness to testify to an out-of-court statement made by indicted co-conspirator; 3) requiring one defendant to testify under a statutory grant of use immunity at his co-defendant's trial; 4) failing to order one defendant, over his attorney's objections, to submit to a pre-testimony interview by other defendant's attorney; and 5) denying one defendant's mistrial motion based on the government-s allegedly improper questioning of him at trial in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
