Text: There can be no question that Witness B could provide material evidence on behalf of Moussaoui. [ 23 The Government points to several statements relating Witness A’s belief that Moussaoui was involved in the September 11 attacks. However, a witness’ belief is not admissible evidence. See United States v. Tanner, 941 F.2d 574, 585 (7th Cir. 1991) (noting that witnesses cannot testify to events of which they do not have personal knowledge). UNITED STATES v. MOUSSAOUI 37 ] Witness B [ ] has indicated that Moussaoui’s operational knowledge was limited, a fact that is clearly of exculpatory value as to both guilt and penalty. [ ] Thus, of all three witnesses, Witness B is of the greatest exculpatory value.
