Second Circuit -- United States v. Robinson

TVPA trafficking statute has three classes of culpability - knowledge; reckless disregard; opportunity to observe.

Sufficient evidence.

Recordings of phone calls with other criminal contacts  were not inadmissible as other bad acts, as the contextualized the contacts in the present case.  Same for threatening phone calls to person in present case.

Sentence procedurally reasonable.

Concur in J: Scienter terms in statute means that "opportunity to observe" should still have mens rea requirement.
