Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): conduct). Lacking explicit precedent in this state, we turn to other jurisdictions to seek guidance.

See U.S. v. Van Metre, 150 F.3d 339, 352 (4th Cir.1998); U.S. v. Guerrero-Cortez, 110 F.3d 647, 652 (8th Cir.1997) (acknowledging that “[a]n effort to intimidate a witness tends to show consciousness of guilt”); U.S. v. Gatto, 995 F.2d 449, 454-55 (3d Cir.1993) (<HOLDING>); U.S. v. Maddox, 944 F.2d 1223, 1230 (6th
