United States v. Singleton

United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
260 F.3d 1295 (2001)

Facts

Donna and Cedric Singleton were a divorced couple. The Singletons had a rocky marriage, and Donna Singleton (defendant) filed for divorce from Cedric in September 1997, after the couple had been living separately for several months. The divorce was finalized in May 1998. In January 1998, before the divorce was final but after the divorce petition had been filed and the couple had been living separately for over a year, Cedric wore a wire to tape a conversation with Donna, during which she made incriminating statements about a false loan application to a credit union. Following her conviction for making false statements to a federally insured credit union, Donna appealed, arguing that her conversation with Cedric was inadmissible under the marital privilege.
