United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's convictions for arson are reversed where: 1) certain articles allegedly given to defendant should have been excluded from her trial, or at least limited, because they were highly prejudicial due to their advocacy of anarchy and violence; 2) the district court abused its discretion when it excluded a video of a peaceful demonstration made by defendant; and 3) the district court erred when it prevented defendant's cousin from testifying to the fact that defendant told him to tell the truth.
