United States v. Yildiz
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
355 F.3d 80 (2004)

- Written by Kate Luck, JD
Facts
Fuat Yildiz (defendant) was accused of conspiracy to rob a jewelry merchant. A government informant testified at trial regarding recorded conversations between Yildiz and his codefendants discussing the planned robbery. Yildiz sought to introduce a prior out-of-court statement made by the informant to police that could have been construed as being exculpatory of Yildiz. The trial court did not allow the informant’s statement to be admitted as an admission by a party opponent and Yildiz was convicted of conspiracy to commit robbery. Yildiz appealed the trial court’s ruling.
