Eighth Circuit -- United States v. Marcellus Watson

United States v. Marcellus Watson

No Confrontation Clause violation where state does not produce objects that police testify to seeing on deft's person (photo of gun on cell phone, belt holster).

No error in introduction of videotape on which officers inform deft that another person alleges that deft shot at them.

Blanket self-authenticating paragraph suffices to authenticate several official documents.

Possession of firearm while drug-runnin' gets the sentencing bump for prior crimes of violence.
