United States v. Cherry
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
217 F.3d 811 (2000)
- Written by Serena Lipski, JD
Facts
Joshua Price, Michelle Cherry, LaDonna Gibbs, Teresa Price, and Sonya Parker (defendants) were charged with involvement in a drug conspiracy. The evidence against them came mostly from a cooperating witness, Ebon Sekou Lurks. Lurks was murdered before the trial, and the evidence showed that Joshua Price and Teresa Price were involved in his murder, but there was no evidence that the remaining three defendants were involved. The trial court held that Lurks’s out-of-court statements were admissible against Joshua Price and Teresa Price but not the remaining defendants. An interlocutory appeal was filed.
