The household manual is being offered as a set of instructions, it's a document of instructions which have no truth value themselves, and the contact book is not being offered to show that any of the entries are in fact the contact information of any of the people listed therein."Source

1 additional issue that I think would relate to this issue. This
2 witness is -- I'd say it's more of a 803(6) issue with this
3 witness likely than a 901 issue, your Honor. And I think we're
4 implicating 803(6) subsections (C), I think (D) and (E) likely
5 with this particular witness.
6 THE COURT: Okay. Just give me a minute. Understood.
7 MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, I would just point out that
8 neither of these documents are being offered for the truth of
9 the matter. The household manual is being offered as a set of
10 instructions, it's a document of instructions which have no
11 truth value themselves, and the contact book is not being
12 offered to show that any of the entries are in fact the contact
13 information of any of the people listed therein.
14 It's being offered to show that the defendant was in
15 possession of a book which contained -- which purported to
16 contain this information. So, in either sense, 803(6) -- the
17 government does not expect 803(6) to be implicated by the
18 testimony when it offers the exhibits.
19 THE COURT: Do you want to respond to that,
20 Mr. Pagliuca?
21 MR. PAGLIUCA: I think then this implicates some
22 relevance issues, your Honor.
23 THE COURT: I'm sorry, it implicates?
24 MR. PAGLIUCA: Relevance issues. I mean, I dispute
25 the characterization that the defendant is in possession of a
2 witness is -- I'd say it's more of a 803(6) issue with this
3 witness likely than a 901 issue, your Honor. And I think we're
4 implicating 803(6) subsections (C), I think (D) and (E) likely
5 with this particular witness.
