United States DC Circuit

Defendant's theft conviction is vacated where: 1) given defense counsel's failure to articulate a justification for a witness's proposed testimony independent of certain document labels' truth, the court did not abuse its discretion by excluding it; and 2) the district court abused its discretion under Fed. R. Evid. 408 in permitting a witness to testify regarding defendant-s offer of settlement and the statements that followed.
