Heading: Improper Questioning of Witnesses

Text: 27 AML alleges misconduct by the Government in that the Government failed to elicit and, in fact, suppressed testimony favorable to AML in its examination of Norberto Queris. AML, however, was able to bring out the favorable information on cross-examination. A second instance of alleged misconduct was that the Government, in examining an RPC employee, implied that a letter firing that employee had been written by AML Vice-President Lamas, rather than by AML's general counsel. The district court, however, gave an instruction that corrected any impression on the part of the jury that Lamas had authored the letter firing the employee. We find no misconduct by the Government in its questioning of these witnesses, and we find no violation of AML's due process rights.
