United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant was convicted of conspiracy and kidnapping. Defendant tried to seal her pre-trial proffer of proof for a duress defense and sought to prevent introduction of evidence of trafficking of marijuana. The Ninth circuit held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in allowing public disclosure of pre-trial order nor was it an abuse of discretion to allow evidence of trafficking of marijuana in the kidnapping trial.
