United States v. Embry, No. 11-5027 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
Defendant Demonte Embry was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and sentenced to seventy-seven months incarceration. On appeal to the Tenth Circuit, he argued that the magistrate judge abused his discretion in denying Defendant's discovery request for potentially exculpatory and impeaching FBI information. Furthermore, Defendant argued the district court erred in preventing him from impeaching his own witness on direct examination with extrinsic evidence of the witness's efforts to discredit a government witness in an unrelated police corruption case. Finding no error in either ruling, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's decisions.
