Ninth Circuit -- USA V. JOANN WIGGAN

Grand jurors can't testify at trial to matters beyond materiality of deft statements.  (It's a 'brume.')

Materiality is an inquiry into the relevance of the statement in the deliberations of the grand jury, not a characterization of the statement itself.

Sufficient Evidence.
