Heading: Augustine's Grand Jury Testimony.

Text: 39 Kelly alleges three incidents related by Special Agent Augustine during his grand jury testimony were both false and misleading. First, there was a discrepancy between Augustine's grand jury testimony and that given in a deposition regarding whether statements attributed to Kelly in the DEA Report were verbatim. Kelly fails, however, to identify any specific statements incorrectly attributed to himself, and, thus, has not met his burden of showing specific evidence of fraud. 40 Second, Kelly alleges fraud in Augustine's testimony regarding whether he was familiar with Kelly's voice. Kelly offers no proof that Augustine had never heard Kelly's voice, however, and so again has not met his burden of proof on this issue. 41 Third, Kelly alleges Augustine mischaracterized a recorded phone call in his grand jury testimony. Our review of the record supports Augustine's characterization for the grand jury. The mischaracterization, if any, certainly did not rise to the level of fraud negating the indictment's finding of probable cause. 42
