Text: 13 The appellants raise the following issues on appeal: (1) whether the district court erred in allowing the expert to express an opinion regarding layoff bets, based on a definition inconsistent with the law of this circuit; (2) whether a sufficient degree of prosecutorial misconduct existed making the trial unfair; (3) whether excessive or prejudicial delay existed in the furnishing of the transcript necessary for completion of the record on appeal; (4) whether the district court erred in denying an evidentiary hearing on Hatley and Wilkerson's motions to suppress evidence; (5) whether the district court abused its discretion in admitting certain evidence; (6) whether the government's response to a defense counsel's objection during closing argument was an impermissible and prejudicial comment on Carter's decision not to testify; (7) whether the government's cross-examination of the appellants' expert witnesses was proper; (8) whether the judge's conduct denied the appellants a fair trial; (9) whether the district court properly denied the motion for severance; (10) whether the district court abused its discretion in admitting the government's tape recordings; (11) whether the search of Wilkerson's vehicle exceeded the scope of the warrant; (12) whether the district court committed reversible error in failing to instruct the jury as the appellants requested; and (13) whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain the convictions.
