United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for armed bank robbery is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in possibly admitting evidence of defendant's prior bank robbery conviction, family's criminal background, and statement that he aided and abetted the robbery, as there is no evidence in the record that the jury reviewed the relevant parts of the unredacted DVD; and 2) government's inadvertent withholding of favorable impeaching evidence regarding a witness's prior drug conviction did not prejudice defendant.
