Tenth Circuit -- United States v. Washington

United States v. Washington

 Use of terms "conspiring" and "attempt to kill" in indictment sufficiently signalled charge of witness tampering.

Same language in a single count isn't duplicitous, as the elements of conspiracy weren't pleaded.

Where a sequestration order is in play and the deft discovers a useful witness in the courtroom, sequestration does not necessarily bar them.  (Dictum, as held harmless error here).
