Eighth Circuit: United States v. Stoney End of Horn


Crim, FRE, Hearsay


Sufficient evidence despite inconsistencies, as inconsistencies could have been raised in cross-examination.

Error to admit hearsay, as external corroboration is not an indicium of speaker's truthfulness.  Harmless error, given corroboration.

No abuse of discretion in upward departure in sentencing.
