Whether expert testimony concerning the structure and modus operandi of drug-trafficking organizations is categorically prohibited by the Federal Rules of Evidence in a prosecution of a drug courier for importation of narcotics.
In the Supreme Court of the United States
No. 02-112
The Solicitor General, on behalf of the United States of America, respectfully petitions for a writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in this case.
The opinion of the court of appeals (App., infra, 1a-12a) is reported at 287 F.3d 860.
The judgment of the court of appeals was entered on April 23, 2002. The jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C. 1254(1).
Pertinent statutory provisions-21 U.S.C. 841(a), 952(a), and 960(a)-and Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 402, 403, and 702 are set forth in the Appendix. App., infra, 28a-32a.
Following a jury trial, respondent was convicted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California of importation of marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. 952 and 960, and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute it, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1). He was sentenced to 37 months imprisonment, to be followed by three years supervised release, and a $200 special assessment. The court of appeals reversed the convictions, App., infra, 1a-12a, on the ground that the district court erred in admitting expert testimony concerning the structure of drug trafficking organizations.
1. On August 2, 2000, respondent was driving a car from Mexico into the United States when he was stopped at the San Ysidro Port of Entry near San Diego. During a routine inspection, a U.S. Customs Inspector questioned respondent about his citizenship and the ownership of the vehicle he was driving. When respondent appeared nervous, the Customs Inspector brought a drug sniffing dog to his car, and the dog alerted to the dashboard. A further search of the car revealed 23 packages of marijuana weighing 42.7 pounds hidden behind the glove compartment. See App., infra, 3a.
2. On August 16, 2000, respondent was charged with importation of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 952 and 960, and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute it, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1). Both counts required the government to prove, inter alia, that respondent "knowingly or intentionally" engaged in the alleged criminal conduct. 21 U.S.C. 841(a), 960(a)(1).
Before trial, the government provided notice of its intent to introduce expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations and, in particular, testimony that the person who loads the vehicle with drugs usually is not the person who drives the drugs across the border. Respondent moved to exclude the evidence pursuant to, inter alia, Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 403, and 702. Following a hearing, the district court ruled that it would allow the expert testimony. App., infra, 4a.
3. A two day trial followed. The government presented the testimony of an Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Inspector and two U.S. Customs Service employees concerning the discovery of the drugs in respondent's car, and testimony of a forensic chemist who identified the drugs. In addition, the government called Special Agent Robert Villars of the U.S. Customs Service as an expert in marijuana smuggling. Respondent renewed his objection to the testimony under Rules 401 and 403, but the district court allowed it. Special Agent Villars testified about the "compartmentalization" of the smuggling process, stating that each participant has a separate role, and that the person who loads the vehicle with marijuana is not the person who drives the vehicle across the border. App., infra, 4a-5a. He further explained that, given the separation in functions, fingerprinting generally is not a valuable law enforcement tool in identifying drug couriers. Ibid.
During respondent's cross examination of the government's witnesses and his closing arguments, counsel referred both directly and indirectly to the absence of fingerprint or other physical evidence tying respondent to the drugs. See App., infra, 16a-17a, 21a-22a, 24a, 26a-27a. On November 8, 2000, the jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts.
4. The court of appeals reversed the convictions and remanded. App., infra, 1a-12a. The court held that the admission of Special Agent Villars's testimony required reversal under United States v. Vallejo, 237 F.3d 1008, amended by 246 F.3d 1150 (9th Cir. 2001). As the court explained, "Vallejo * * * held that the admission of expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations violates Federal Rules of Evidence 401 and 403 'whe[n] the defendant is not charged with a conspiracy to import drugs or whe[n] such evidence is not otherwise probative of a matter properly before the court.'" App., infra, 5a. The court stated that "[t]he case before us is, in almost all respects, similar to [Vallejo]." Ibid. In addition, the court relied on its decision in United States v. McGowan, 274 F.3d 1251 (9th Cir. 2001), petition for cert. pending, No. 02-64 (filed July 12, 2002), in which the court-applying the holding in Vallejo-concluded that the admission of "virtually identical expert testimony" by the same expert (Special Agent Villars) "was reversible error." App., infra, 7a n.3; see id. at 5a-7a.
This case presents the question whether expert testimony concerning the structure and modus operandi of drug trafficking organizations is categorically prohibited by the Federal Rules of Evidence in the prosecution of a drug courier for importation of narcotics. In holding that the admission of such expert testimony was reversible error in this case, the court of appeals specifically relied on its decisions in United States v. McGowan, 274 F.3d 1251 (9th Cir. 2001), petition for cert. pending, No. 02-64 (filed July 12, 2002), and United States v. Vallejo, 237 F.3d 1008, amended by 246 F.3d 1150 (9th Cir. 2001). App., infra, 5a-6a. On July 12, 2002, the United States filed a petition for certiorari in McGowan, presenting the same question in this case and, in particular, requesting this Court's review of the categorical rule established by the Ninth Circuit in Vallejo. In both McGowan and in this case, the court of appeals held that the rule of Vallejo required invalidation of convictions obtained under 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1), 952, and 960. Because the question presented in this case is before the Court in McGowan, the petition for a writ of certiorari should be held pending the Court's disposition in that case.
The petition for a writ of certiorari should be held pending this Court's disposition of United States v. McGowan, No. 02-64, and then should be disposed of as appropriate in light of the disposition in that case.
Respectfully submitted.
Solicitor General
* The Honorable Frank C. Damrell, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of California, sitting by designation.
1 Pineda-Torres also argues that the district court erred by (1) denying his motion for judgment of acquittal on the importation charge because the government failed to prove that he actually crossed the border and "brought the marijuana" into the United States; (2) failing to dismiss the indictment due to the invalid appointment of the United States Attorney in violation of the Appointments and Vacancies Clause of the Constitution of the United States; and (3) failing to dismiss the indictment because 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 960 are facially unconstitutional under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S. Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000).
First, we reject Pineda-Torres's claim that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of importation. Customs Inspector Cruz testified that Pineda-Torres had already crossed the border into the United States when he was stopped at the primary inspection area. Second, Pineda-Torres's argument that the United States Attorney's appointment violates the Appointments and Vacancies Clause is precluded by this court's holding in United States v. Gantt, 194 F.3d 987, 999 (9th Cir. 1999). Third, in light of our recent decisions in United States v. Buckland, 277 F.3d 1173 (9th Cir. 2002) (en banc), and United States v. Mendoza-Paz, No. 00-50029, 2002 WL 531153 (9th Cir. Apr. 10, 2002), we reject Pineda-Torres's claim that 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 960 are facially unconstitutional.
2 Additionally, Special Agent Villars testified that drug trafficking organizations intentionally use a packaging material that makes it difficult to lift clear fingerprints and that any recoverable prints would probably be from someone "south of the border" whose prints are not on file in the United States.
3 Special Agent Robert Villars provided virtually identical expert testimony in both McGowan and Pineda-Torres's trials. McGowan, 274 F.3d at 1253. We held that admission of Special Agent Villars's testimony was reversible error in McGowan. Id.
4 The fact that Pineda-Torres did not testify and affirmatively deny knowledge of the drugs that were found in the car is not dispositive. Both parties recognized in their closing arguments to the jury that the only issue in the case was knowledge. Because the improper expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations was admitted to support the government's contention of knowledge, the testimony was prejudicial regardless of whether Pineda-Torres affirmatively denied knowledge or argued that the government had not proven knowledge.
5 That is what occurred in Murillo, a case in which the defense engaged
a fingerprint expert and initiated the inquiry at trial regarding the lack
of fingerprints on the drug packages. Murillo, 255 F.3d at 1177.
No. 01-50133
[Filed: Apr. 23, 2002]
Before: REINHARDT and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges, and DAMRELL,* District Judge
Vicente Pineda-Torres appeals his convictions for importation of marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960 and possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). He argues that the district court abused its discretion when it admitted expert testimony regarding the structure of drug trafficking organizations in a simple, non-conspiracy importation case. Because we hold that the district court committed prejudicial error when it admitted this expert testimony, we reverse.1
Vicente Pineda-Torres had just entered the United States from Mexico by automobile when he was stopped at the primary inspection area at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Customs Inspector Cruz approached his vehicle and asked him about his citizenship. Pineda-Torres presented his INS documents, which showed that he was a permanent resident of Southern California, and told the inspector that he was returning from visiting a friend in Tijuana. When Inspector Cruz asked him who owned the vehicle, Pineda-Torres told him a friend named Bob Armando Rodriguez. He then provided the inspector with the registration and correctly recited the registered owner's address.
Inspector Cruz testified at trial that Pineda-Torres appeared nervous, didn't make eye contact, was looking down, and had a scratch in his voice when answering questions. Inspector Cruz's notes from that day, however, do not mention anything about Pineda-Torres not making eye contact, looking down, or having a scratchy voice. The only description that was recorded in Inspector Cruz's notes was a notation that a "Mr. Beltran" appeared nervous. At trial, Inspector Cruz said that this must have been a typographical error because the notation was intended to refer to Pineda-Torres.
Inspector Cruz brought a drug-sniffing dog over to Pineda-Torres's car. After the dog alerted to the front dashboard of the car, Pineda-Torres was escorted to the secondary inspection area where Inspector Tibbetts examined the car. Tibbetts discovered twenty-three packages of marijuana weighing 42.7 pounds hidden from view in secret compartments behind the glove compartment.
Pineda-Torres was charged with importation of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952, 960, and 841. Before trial, the government sent a letter to the defense stating its intention to introduce expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations including testimony that:
(1) the drivers of load vehicles typically do not own the drugs they are transporting; (2) the driver of a load vehicle is typically not the person responsible for loading the drugs into the car, and, accordingly, fingerprinting is generally not a useful tool in the investigation of border busts; and (3) the driver of a load vehicle is typically not entrusted with transporting the vehicle to a load house, but usually only to a neutral site.
At the motion in limine hearing, the district judge ruled that he would allow the government's witness to testify about the structure of drug trafficking organizations including the futility of collecting fingerprints because of the compartmentalized nature of drug trafficking organizations. The district judge then told Pineda-Torres to "make [his] plan accordingly." In response to this directive, the defense cross-examined the government's witnesses about their failure to obtain fingerprints from Pineda-Torres's vehicle. One of these witnesses was Special Agent Robert Villars of the United States Customs Service. Special Agent Villars testified as an expert and explained, over defense objection, how drug trafficking organizations are structured. Specifically, Villars testified that, in a drug trafficking organization, all of the functions are compartmentalized with each member having a specific duty. There are those who grow the marijuana, those who store it, those who package it, those who find cars and drivers to smuggle it, and those who sell it. He also testified on direct that fingerprinting drug packaging would not be a valuable tool during drug courier investigations because drug trafficking organizations are intentionally structured so that drivers do not load the drugs into the car.2
The defense presented no evidence. The only element at issue in the trial was whether Pineda-Torres knew that the drugs were in the car. During closing arguments, the government contended that, because Pineda-Torres was part of a "sophisticated drug organization," he must have known that drugs were in the car. The defense responded by arguing that the government did not present evidence sufficient to establish knowledge. Pineda-Torres was convicted on both counts. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison, 3 years supervised release, and a $200 special assessment. He appeals his convictions.
The case before us is, in almost all respects, similar to United States v. Vallejo, 237 F.3d 1008, 1012 (9th Cir. 2001), amended by 246 F.3d 1150 (9th Cir. 2001), in which we held that the admission of expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations violates Federal Rules of Evidence 401 and 403 "whe[n] the defendant is not charged with a conspiracy to import drugs or whe[n] such evidence is not otherwise probative of a matter properly before the court." See also United States v. Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d 1174, 1179 (9th Cir. 2002) (holding that expert testimony concerning the structure of drug trafficking organizations was irrelevant and prejudicial in a border courier case and therefore inadmissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 401 and 403); United States v. McGowan, 274 F.3d 1251, 1253-55 (9th Cir. 2001) (holding that expert testimony regarding the structure of drug trafficking organizations was inadmissible in a non-conspiracy importation case).
Vallejo, like Pineda-Torres, was driving a car from Mexico into the United States when he was stopped at the border where his car was searched and marijuana packages were found in hidden compartments. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1013; see also Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d at 1176 (cocaine and methamphetamine found in the vehicle); McGowan, 274 F.3d at 1253 (marijuana found in the vehicle). Vallejo, like Pineda-Torres, was charged with importation of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1012; see also Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d at 1176 (charged with importation of cocaine and methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute); McGowan, 274 F.3d at 1252 (charged with importation of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute). Neither Vallejo, nor Pineda-Torres, was charged with conspiracy and in neither case did the government introduce any evidence establishing a connection between the defendant and a drug trafficking organization. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1015; see also Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d at 1179 (same); McGowan, 274 F.3d at 1254 (same). The only issue in both Vallejo's and Pineda-Torres's trials was whether the defendant knew that there were drugs in the car. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1017. At both trials, an expert testified about how drug trafficking organizations divide responsibilities among the people who grow, store, smuggle, and sell drugs. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1013-14; see also Varela-Rivera, 279 F.3d at 1176-77 (same); McGowan, 274 F.3d at 1253-54 (same).3
The implication of the expert testimony and the government's argument to the jury in both cases was plainly that the defendant was a member of an international drug organization and had knowledge that drugs were in the car. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1017. In Pineda-Torres's case, as in Vallejo, the state did not articulate a theory of relevance for the drug structure testimony at the trial. Id. at 1015. On appeal in this case, however, the government argued that the purpose of the expert testimony was to show that Pineda- Torres knew that drugs were in the car. We explicitly rejected that reason for offering drug structure evidence in Vallejo when we stated that "had that been the [government's] purpose, the district court should properly have excluded it under Rule 403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence." Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1016. To the extent that the Vallejo statement may be dictum, we adopt it as a holding here.
In Vallejo, we compared the admission of expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations to the improper use of drug courier profiles and held that the district court abused its discretion when it admitted expert testimony about the structure and operation of drug trafficking organizations in a simple border bust case. Id. at 1017. Moreover, because the testimony "unfairly imputed specific knowledge to Vallejo and knowledge was the central question before the jury," we concluded that the error was prejudicial and required reversal. Id. The same is true here.4
Our decision in United States v. Murillo, 255 F.3d 1169 (9th Cir. 2001), does not require a different result. Murillo did not involve expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations. Rather, Murillo involved "unknowing drug courier" modus operandi testimony-expert testimony that drug traffickers do not routinely entrust large quantities of drugs to people who are unaware that they are transporting them. Id. at 1176. In that case, we held that "unknowing drug courier" testimony was admissible in a drug possession case involving over one million dollars worth of methamphetamine and cocaine to attack the defendant's defense that he was "simply an unknowing courier." See id. at 1176-77; see also United States v. Campos, 217 F.3d 707, 712 (9th Cir. 2000) (holding that unknowing drug courier testimony was admissible in a complex drug importation case); United States v. Cordoba, 104 F.3d 225, 230 (9th Cir. 1997) (same).
We distinguished the expert testimony in Murillo from that in Vallejo by stating that unknowing drug courier testimony, unlike testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations, does not require an expert to "extrapolate about the various roles individuals might play in hypothetical drug trafficking organizations" and does not "imply that [the defendant] participated in a large-scale operation." Murillo, 255 F.3d at 1177; see also Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1016, as amended by 246 F.3d 1150 (declining to address the admissibility of unknowing drug courier testimony because "[t]his case does not involve the Government's use of 'unknowing courier' testimony"). Instead, an expert presenting "unknowing drug courier" testimony in a complex case looks at the specific facts involved and, in light of his investigative experience, offers his opinion that it would be illogical and contrary to general practice for a drug trafficker to take the very risky step of entrusting his valuable cargo to an unknowing courier.
By contrast, an expert providing testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations attributes knowledge to the defendant by attempting to connect him to an international drug conspiracy and thus implies that the defendant "participated in a large-scale operation." Compare Murillo, 255 F.3d at 1177. There is no direct evidence associating the defendant with a drug trafficking organization so the expert uses the "blueprint" structure of international drug trafficking organizations as a means of doing so. Because "[c]riminal prosecutions cannot be blueprinted, but must be tailored to the charges and facts of each case in consideration of the individual rights of each defendant," this method of imputing knowledge lacks any probative value and is impermissible. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1017.
We also reject the government's contention that in this case defense counsel "opened the door" to the drug structure testimony by cross-examining the customs agents about their failure to lift fingerprints from the drug packages and the vehicle.5 We have held that limited drug structure testimony is admissible in drug importation cases when the defense opens the door by introducing evidence that the government did not attempt to lift fingerprints. See, e.g., United States v. Alatorre, 222 F.3d 1098, 1100 n.3 (9th Cir. 2000). In this case, however, it was not Pineda-Torres who first introduced the fingerprint evidence issue. Rather, the government notified the defense that it intended to have Special Agent Villars testify that fingerprinting would not be helpful in drug importation cases because of the compartmentalized structure of drug trafficking organizations. When, at an in limine hearing, Pineda-Torres objected to the proposed testimony because it impermissibly implied that he was connected to a drug trafficking organization, the district judge ruled that the government's evidence would be admitted and instructed Pineda-Torres to "plan accordingly." It was in accordance with this instruction that the defense subsequently questioned the government customs agents on cross examination about the lack of fingerprint evidence. Indeed, Pineda-Torres did precisely what the district judge told him to do and made his trial plans knowing that the government would adduce expert testimony as to the futility of obtaining fingerprint evidence in light of the structure and method of operations of drug trafficking organizations. Under these circumstances, we cannot conclude that it was the defendant who "opened the door."
Because knowledge was the only element at issue in Pineda-Torres's case and because the admission of expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations "portrayed [Pineda-Torres] as a member of an enormous international drug trafficking organization and implied that he knew of the drugs in his car because of his role in that organization," Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1017, the error was prejudicial and requires reversal. If anything, the expert testimony in Pineda-Torres's case was even more prejudicial than the testimony in Vallejo. In the present case, there was no evidence that Pineda-Torres admitted knowledge that there were drugs in the car, whereas, in Vallejo, the customs agent testified that the defendant stated that his friend had refused to drive the vehicle because it had drugs in it. Vallejo, 237 F.3d at 1013. Here, aside from the presence of the marijuana in the car and the minimally probative testimony regarding Pineda-Torres's apparent nervousness offered by a border agent whose notes contain significant omissions and a name other than the defendant's, the improper expert testimony imputing knowledge to Pineda-Torres by virtue of his implied connection to an international drug trafficking organization was the only evidence presented to establish that Pineda-Torres knew that drugs were in the car.
Because we hold that the district court committed prejudicial error when it admitted expert testimony about the structure of drug trafficking organizations, we reverse Pineda-Torres's convictions and remand his case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

MR. WINTER: Your Honor, the third in limine I filed was to exclude expert testimony. I have received notice of expert testimony in this case. It was-
THE COURT: I have in mind. I have seen the government's trial brief, and I see their offer of proof is contained in the trial brief.
MR. WINTER: That is the notice that I received, your honor. I just like to voice an objection for the record to 702, 401, and 403. Specific to the 401 and 403 objection would be that the jury would infer because that's the government's expert is speaking of drug cartels and organizations that the inference is that Mr. Pineda is working for a drug cartel or organization when I believe that there is no evidence of that.
THE COURT: Sir?
MR. SAHAM: Your Honor, two things. There was an additional much more detailed disclosure made to Mr. Winter via a letter, a two-page letter enclosing certain attachments which was sent out on October 26, 2000. Additionally, with respect to the Special Agent, the government would seek to have testimony in two areas.
First, the value of marijuana; and secondly, with respect to the drug organization, a down-scaled version of that with respect to the compartmentalization within the drug smuggling organization.
THE COURT: Your case supporting the latter is what?
MR. SAHAM: Your Honor, we did not file a brief, but I think the Cordoba case that allows testimony on that issue. I am sorry, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Unless there is something else, it would be my view based upon the offering of the government's trial brief that the evidence they seek to elicit would be appropriate. I think the case law supports it.
You should make your plan accordingly-that that would be limited to the matter set out in the trial brief that would be before the trier of fact.
MR. WINTER: Your Honor, could I have one point to that. The Cordoba case deals with a large conspiracy case. This case is a small marijuana case for this district. It is 19.4 kilograms of marijuana. I just like to point out that difference.
THE COURT: Your position is noted on the record.

[of Special Agent Steven Tibbetts]
Q. You wore gloves when you took the marijuana out of the vehicle?
A. I believe so, yes.
Q. Are you in charge of checking fingerprints on the marijuana?
A. No.
Q. Do you know who is?
A. No, I don't. Normally the investigators are. I really don't know much about that.
Q. You brought some bulk marijuana in front of you right there. Do you know if that has been checked for fingerprints?
A. No, I don't.
Q. When you were in the secondary inspection area, when did the fingerprint person come in?
A. I don't know exactly what time it was or how long after we removed the marijuana.
Q. Did you see a fingerprint person?
A. No.
Q. Do you know if fingerprints were taken in this case?
A. I don't know.
Q. But that's something that's done?
A. I don't know, sir.
Q. You have seen it done?
A. No.
Q. Have you heard of it done?
A. No.
MR. WINTER: Thank you, Your Honor. No further questions.

[of Special Agent Robert Villars]
* * * * *
MR. SAHAM: The United States offers Senior Special Agent Robert Villars as an expert in narcotics smuggling and the value of marijuana.
MR. WINTER: Your Honor, I'd like to continue my objection under rule 401, 403.
THE COURT: I'll note your objection; I overrule it. You may cross-examine in this area.
You may proceed. Go ahead.
Q. Agent Villars, in your investigations of reactive cases such as this one, have you found fingerprinting the drug packaging to be a valuable tool in your investigations?
A. No, sir.
Q. Why not?
A. Several reasons. First of all, the material that is used to package the drugs is not conducive to pull prints off of. It also depends how it's hidden. If it is within the gas tank, the gas would be-being a solvent -would take the oil from the fingerprints. It would destroy that.
And also the fingerprints-if you were indeed to find a set of recognizable prints, you would most likely not be able to identify the fingerprints because it's from somebody south of the border of which we have no records of in the United States.
Q. Based on your experience and investigations, is the driver of the vehicle generally the person responsible for loading the narcotics into the vehicle?
A. No, sir.
Q. Why not?
A. It is very come [sic] compartmentalized. It's sectioned off for several reasons, one being security. They don't want to give away who they are. Also it is very specialized in that everybody has a specific duty within the organization.
Q. Are those sophisticated enterprises?
A. Yes, sir, they are.
Q. You were talking about compartmentalization and different functions. Could you describe to the jury what those functions are?
A. Basically what it takes to get the product coming north from the person who plants the seed in the ground, grows it and harvest it to pack it into the big 18-wheelers other boars or airplanes that bring it up to the border.
MR. WINTER: Objection; 403.
THE COURT: I note your objection. I will overrule it. The answer may stand. You may inquire.
THE WITNESS: Then you have the people who warehouse it at the border who store it, again the people who break it down into smaller packages, people who shape the packages for the vehicle, the type of conveyance they are using, people who procure the vehicles, who hire the drivers, who rent the houses on this side of the border, the stash houses, to secure their product one [sic] they get here. Everybody has a specific task.
* * * * *
[of Special Agent Robert Villars]
Q. Agent Villars, are you working actively on this case?
A. No, sir.
Q. Have you had any contact with Mr. Saham or the case agent Ms. Ayers, in this case?
A. Yes, I have.
Q. That's to come to testify in an expert capacity?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. You didn't do any of the investigation on this case?
A. No, sir.
Q. You weren't involved in the seizure of Mr. Pineda at the port of entry?
A. I never met him.
Q. Now, you started talking about-you talked at one point about fingerprints and you stated it's hard to get fingerprints of a gas tank. That's because of the gas?
A. Yes, if the packages are concealed with gas, the gas being a solvent, it would be difficult to get fingerprints.
Q. Because the gas is wet and also-
A. It is a solvent. It takes away oil. That's what fingerprints are is oil.
Q. Would it have been fruitless to try to take fingerprints?
A. I don't know whether those was-in this case.
Q. You can take fingerprints off plastic, right?
A. Yes, but the type of plastic it is a cellophane and is all wrinkled. I am no fingerprint expert, however. It is difficult. We have done some submissions-
Q. You can take fingerprints off of-
THE COURT: Let him finish the answer.
THE WITNESS: The wrapping that's so wrinkled that you don't get a whole print.
Q. Some cellophane you can take fingerprints off?
A. I don't know. I have never met a person-I don't know of anybody that's ever done that taken fingerprints off cellophane.
Q. That's cellophane?
A. Yes, it's packaged and taped and I don't even know how this was packaged.
Q. What about hard plastic? Could you get fingerprints off that?
A. Yes, you could?
Q. And glass?
A. Yes.
Q. And metal?
A. Yes.

[of Special Agent Robert Villars]
Q. Agent Villars, based upon your prior investigation and experience, is the driver typically the person to load the marijuana in the vehicle in a smuggling operation such as what we have here?
A. No.
Q. And why isn't the driver responsible?
A. We have security. They don't want the driver to know anybody with the organization is hired to do one specific task. He is hired to do the task.
Q. You wouldn't expect to find the driver's prints anywhere-strike that.
You wouldn't expect the driver's print on the packaging?
A. No, sir, you wouldn't.
Q. Or necessarily in the interior area of the vehicle?
A. They might be in the interior of the vehicle.
Q. I think I asked that badly. I mean the interior where the marijuana is?
A. No. The driver is not allowed access to where they load the vehicles or to see the stash.
Q. Certainly, we would expect to find the driver's prints on the vehicle?
A. Yes, on doors of the vehicle.
Q. And gear shift?
A. Right.
Q. In your opinion would there be any sort of advantage to the investigation to lift the driver's prints from the steering wheel?
A. No, because we don't know who the driver is.
MR. SAHAM: I have no further questions.
THE COURT: Anything further of the witness?
MR. WINTER: Your Honor, yes.
[of Special Agent Robert Villars]
Q. You stated that when you were talking about fingerprints that one of the reasons that fingerprints are sometimes not taken is because the individual is from south of the border?
A. The individual that packaged or loaded the vehicle is somebody south of the border. We never had any contact and no way to keep a record.
Q. Because we don't have records of those types of fingerprints?
A. We don't have records of foreign national's fingerprints.
Q. We do have records of people in the United States?
A. Yes, we have some if they have come in contact with law enforcement before. Yes, we have fingerprints somewhere.
Q. Or the DMV?
A. I believe you have a thumb print when you get your driver's license.
MR. WINTER: No further questions.
THE COURT: Anything further?
MR. SAHAM: Nothing further.
THE COURT: Thank you very much. You may be excused.

[by Mr. Winter]
MR. WINTER: There is no evidence that any fingerprint inquiry was made. We heard from agent, the expert that testified, Agent Villars, where fingerprints can't be taken from. They can't be taken from the gas tank. That just makes plain sense.
We know they can be taken from the dash. We know that they can be taken from the metal inside the compartment, and we know that they could possibly be taken from the drug bags. We know that the fingerprints could have led to put the marijuana in this case, and that's another thing that the government has not done to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Pelosi in public dispute with CIA over interrogation
WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) – The top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday got into a public dispute with the CIA over what she knew about harsh interrogation techniques in 2002 in the latest twist in a Washington political firestorm.
I logged into your news site to find information concerning Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the CIA controversy.
It is not every day that an elected member of our Congress calls the entire deparment of the Central Intelligence Agency liars. You don't even have it covered as a subject… Anywhere. Are you serious? Do you not consider it newsworthy?
I have always thought of you as a balanced organization, but if you are not writing about it because you were TOLD not to….
Mr. Y.
It's interesting that you would rather think we were "told" not to write about this, instead of the far more obvious explanation that we simply we not the first ones with the story.
We beat our competition with a lot of breaking news, but it would be unsportsmanlike to do it with every story. Indeed, our first version moved online within minutes of your query, and we updated it several times that day with fresh information: GBU Editor

The Walking Dead - Episode 4.06 - Live Bait - Preview
Posted by chris684 at Sunday, November 17, 2013 37 CommentsCD Reviews The Walking Dead
This is an episode that's lighter on action and more on telling the story of a character's emotional journey. But I will say this - the second to last line is "Holy shit." And I can almost guarantee you won't guess the circumstances around it.
We see a new town and meet a few new characters and learn how they coped after the world turned. They had a very different experience than our prison group and are in a different place emotionally. We also get a glimpse of what became of Woodbury.
I commented recently that I wasn't ready to see the governor back because I was ready to put last season behind me. But I take that back now. The show has once again proved that it can put a fresh twist on the continuation of an old storyline and make it something very different.
Hope you enjoy it. I did.
Live Bait airs on Friday, Nov. 22, on FOX in the UK, and on Sunday, Nov. 17, on AMC in the US.

Photographer Has Girlfriend Capture 360° View from Rooftop, Proposes At the End
When Wellington, New Zealand-based photographer Brady Dyer proposed to his then-girlfriend Emma in Florence, Italy last year, he had her capture her own special moment on camera. Dyer writes,

The whole thing "couldn't have gone more perfectly," the photographer says.

As it turns out, a dead man can tell stories...
Murders are a dime a dozen in Margaret Thatcher's London, and when it comes to the brutal killing of a middle-aged alcoholic found dumped outside of town, Scotland Yard has more important cases to deal with.
Instead it's a job for the Department of Unexplained Deaths and its head Detective Sergeant. With only a box of cassette-tape diaries as evidence the rogue detective has no chouce but to listen to the haunting voice of the victim for clues to his gruesome end.
The first book in Derek Raymond's acclaimed Factory Series is an unflinching yet deeply compassionate portrait of a city plagued by poverty and perversion, and a policeman who may be the only one who cares about the "people who don't matter and who never did."
About the Author
Derek Raymond was the pseudonym of British writer Robert Cook, who was born in London in 1931. The son of a textile magnate, he dropped out of Eton and rejected a life of privilege for a life of adventure. He traveled the world, living in Paris at the Beat Hotel and on New York's seedy Lower East Side, smuggled artworks into Amsterdam, and spent time in a Spanish prison for publicly making fun of Franco. Finally, he landed back in London, working in the lower echelons of the Kray Brothers' crime syndicate laundering money, organizing illegal gambling, and setting up insurance scams. He eventually took to writing—first as a pornographer, but then as an increasingly serious novelist, writing about the desperate characters and experiences he'd known in London's underground. His work culminated in the Factory novels, landmarks that have led many to consider him the founding father of British noir. He died in London in 1993.

I can't hit the suggested word count in this post, because some events are just too good to be covered up in a lot of talking. But I am thankful for two very important things right now: 1. That I summoned the courage to call my son's family on his birthday; that I had a warm, friendly, productive conversation with his mom; that his health and behavior seem better; that he got to tell me about his birthday party and his presents in his own words; that he is so very smart, asking all kinds of penetrating questions about my recent trip to China and why I chose for him the gifts I chose; that he FINALLY knows who I am to him, and that he said "I love you" twice… [more]
Love Thursday from Heather
Love Thursday - what a great way to take a break from all the seriousness of my normal posts. Here are side-by-side shots of my son and I, taken when we were both 2. (He's 8 now.) We look pretty similar, yes? What I like about these pictures is that they show the undeniable tie between birthparents and their children. We have certain links that no one can take away. The next photo is another favorite, because it shows how much I love him--although it makes me a little sad, too, because at this point in our story, he had no idea who I was. Still, it's a photo I like and am happy to have. I'll always be grateful to his Mom for taking it… [more]
More on adoption and hospital memories
My co-blogger Coley has just written an excellent post about hospital memories, and I'd like to expand on the subject, because it resonates so deeply with me. Prior to becoming a birthmother, I never had a hospital phobia, but today, I can't stand the places. This newfound anxiety is all thanks to the adoption memories. Recently, I moved to a new state, so I no longer see the hospital where I lost my son. But I used to have to drive by it daily, and for many years afterwards, I actually started to feel a little panicky whenever I would see it. Some days, a quick glimpse was enough to send me spiraling into deep sadness and tears. If driving by was bad, going… [more]
Small moments of difficulty
A continuation from the last post... And then there are the moments that are not crushing, but more disturbing or annoying, such as: --Hearing the many adoptive parents in my office talk about their children and the adoption process, while never acknowledging the existence of people like me (or worse, making derogatory comments about birthfamilies). All parents are justifiably proud of their kids, so again, I do not begrudge adoptive parents their pride. It's what they say, and how they say it, that matters. Whenever it's insensitive, I always want to speak up and say, "Hey, I am a part of this, too—why do you ignore me and people like me? If you knew that I (a colleague you respect) was one of… [more]
Small moments of grief
If you become a birthmom, there are many small moments of grief that may sneak up on you, things you never anticipated being an issue before you surrender your child. I pretty much knew to expect the Big Grief (although I definitely underestimated just how big it would be) but I certainly never thought that the small pangs would add up in quite the way that they do. In some ways, these tiny pinpricks wear you down more than the regular grieving process does – because unlike the main grief, they don't progress through logical stages, and they don't reduce in intensity. Here are a few such instances from my own life: --Two months after my son's birth, receiving a free sample of baby… [more]
Unphotographable: Open Adoption
Another in the series of posts describing "unphotographable" moments in adoption - those times that stand out in memory, but aren't captured on film. My son's family is coming to visit for the first time since his birth. I've waited eight long months for this day—prayed for it, in fact. I have two carefully-chosen presents for him, and I've bought a new outfit for myself. The still camera is loaded with film, and I've assigned my sister the role of videographer. I'm not going to miss a minute of this day. I wait by the bay window looking for the car to come down the street. When it finally does, my heart is in my throat. That's my baby who's coming my… [more]
A few of my fellow bloggers here at adoptionblogs.com have been writing a series of terrifically poignant posts called "Unphotographable," intended to bring to life those hard-to-describe moments in adoption. Some of the Unphotographables have been about the happier moments in adoption—things like the first time an adoptive parent sees their new child, or vivid scenes from travel to foreign countries. Unfortunately, as a birthparent, my memories are mostly not that great. Here are a few moments that stand out in indelible detail…things I will never forget no matter how much I'd like to. 1. Sitting at the kitchen table one night with my father, feeling utterly powerless because the adoptive parents have once again backed out on their promises. (What they said… [more]
Unplanned pregnancy around the world
As I've mentioned before on many occasions, I love to travel. When I go to a new country, I always like to talk to people about issues that are most important to me, including adoption. In Egypt, I met a young man named Ashraf. We kept in touch after my travels, discussing politics, religion and other touchy subjects. I'll never forget the response I got when I told him about the circumstances surrounding the surrender of my son. He listened to my story, and then said, with great emotion, "You Americans are crazy. In my country, the family would work together to help its own." He told me that in Egypt, most women don't view unintended pregnancies as unwanted ones. Some… [more]
Before and After
I've been thinking lately about the way having a baby radically changes you. It doesn't matter whether you ultimately raise your child or not—you will never be the same person you were before you became a mother. Looking back on my own pregnancy, I can see that I had the impression that as long as I gave up my son, my life would go back to the way it was before I got pregnant. This is of course not even remotely close to how it actually plays out. In reality, the moment you deliver, you become a new person. You stop looking at the world only through your eyes, and start seeing through your child's as well. The things that were important to you before motherhood (for me, this… [more]

Wellness Signature Selects Shredded White Meat Chicken & Beef Entree in Sauce Canned Cat Food Customer Reviews
Wellness Signature Selects Shredded White Meat Chicken & Beef Entree in Sauce Canned Cat Food 8 8
My babies loves gravy. After years of feeding my cats a popular commercial brand canned food that had gravy, Sammy would keep throwing it up, also he developed itchy skin. Someone told me it could be food allergy so, I started looking for a better quality cat food. Tried many different brands but most of the time they would turn their noses up from them. I think I hit a homerun with the Signature Selects shredded white meat chicken and beef entree in sauce. Both cats, not only they lick up the gravy but they're eating the shredded meat, too. They're happy. I'm happy. December 9, 2013
Cats love this. I have tried no grain food and my cats keep telling me they don't like it so why do i keep pushing this on them? This signature is a great alternative. September 17, 2014
Moist and Meaty My cat loves this food. I like the fact that there is a lot of a light gravy to keep her well hydrated. I usually add a little protein supplement for cats. I like that the food is not meat by-products. July 14, 2014
Seems good This cat food seems pretty good. Be aware that it's about half water (even though it doesn't look it when you open the can), which 1) made my cat urinate double the amount he usually does, and 2) The cat needs more food. He does love this cat food, but I have to give a whole extra can for him to calm down. March 19, 2014
healthy and hydrated I give my two cats grain free wet food and this particular variety is very popular. I love that it is nutritious and very wet so I'm sure they are getting extra water. They love the wet texture more than the chunky. March 12, 2014
my cats love it! my three cats love it! while usually very finicky about their food, all three of my cats love the new line of wellness signature selects and always lick their bowls clean. February 24, 2014
Great juicy food Our cats goggle this up! They love it!! This one of the best canned cat foods on the market. December 27, 2013
Smells Good The Wellness Signature shredded turkey smells so good. My cat loves it. He's use to the chunk food so switching him to the shreds is giving him a challenge but he goes right to this and loves licking the gravy first then goes for the shredded meat second. December 19, 2013

Well thus far Ben Hansbrough has been hitting open shots, hitting free throws, making hustle plays, taking care of the ball, and facilitating the offense... You know, the things a solid backup PG does.

Well thus far Ben Hansbrough has been hitting open shots, hitting free throws, making hustle plays, taking care of the ball, and facilitating the offense... You know, the things a solid backup PG does.
To keep things in perspective.
What we did in the last 3 minutes wasn't much different to what we did in the 21 previous minutes. It's just that the Cavs stopped hitting everything.
The energy just looks so much better when the opponents are missing.
Ok, how does the whole "+/-" thing work? Ben Hansbrough plays 8 minutes, makes the only shot he attempts, makes both free throws, has one rebound, no fouls or turnovers yet has -8?
just ignore it. it's useless for single players, even more useless for one game.
+/- is the change in score when a guy is on the floor. A player can score 50 straight points without a miss, but if his team is outscored 52-50, his +/- will register as -2.
more minutes for Green. awesome.
****. Last thing we needed.
you gotta be fkn kidding
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Ben Hansbrough's the backup PG and Lance Stephenson hurting his ankle is bad news. Your Indiana Pacers.
Oh crap.
Let's hope that Lance is ok
Oh no
Please be okay, Lance!
The only time it is useful is extreme cases, like when a single player has a +15 while everyone else has a +1 or worse.
Most likely a high ankle sprain.
aagghhh... I hope Lance will be ok.
George Hill
Pacers really can't afford an injury. Hope it isn't too serious.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
That's B A D. Lance is going to be out a while.
Just in case you missed it, we stopped a Cavaliers possession with only 4 guys on defense.
Go away, C.J. Miles.
What the hell
who is CJ miles
this is insane
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
nice flop
Ok im tired of just reading all of these game threads all the time...time to join the fun! Haha...Go Pacers! Pacers defense stepping up in the second half
Roy Hibbert can't catch a break, fumbling the pass and rushing the shot.
A big fat LOL at Roy Hibbert.

Their devastating and deadly actions punctuate the world news almost nightly, yet they remain faceless figures amidst the violence and turmoil that engulf the Middle East. And, whether its the C4-laden martyrs of Hezbollah or the car bombing insurgents of Iraq, what could possibly compel a suicide bomber to voluntarily take their own lives, along with those of hundreds of innocent victims? There is perhaps no one better equipped to investigate this terrifying practice than Robert Baer, a decorated, former Middle East CIA Agent and the man George Clooneys character was based on in the Academy Award®-winning film, Syriana.
Robert Baer returns to his former center of operations, the Middle East, to trace the origins of the modern day bomber. In this poignant documentary, Baer reveals the fascinating story of the world's first suicide bomber, 13-year-old Hossein Fahmidehwho was martyred in the Iran-Iraq war and is now a hero in Iran; and visits his highly decorated grave in the graveyard of martyrs just outside Tehran.
