Judge Sedwick on FRE 403
In U. S. v. Thomas Anderson, No. 03:06-cv-00099 JWS (D. Alaska), the government accuses Anderson of several felonies in a bribery scheme involving Cornell Corrections. The prosecution sought to introduce third party comments that VECO (not a party to the alleged scheme) paid Anderson $2,500/month for doing nothing. Judge Sedwick’s order excluding such comments, on the basis that the danger of unfair prejudice substantially outweighs the evidentiary value (FRE 403), was published today at 2007 WL 1864196.
