Kartashov's redacted 302 interview report

The defense sought to introduce Kartashov's redacted report as an account offering distinctive observations of Tamerlan. The government challenged its reliability and argued that other evidence made it cumulative, but the court declined wholesale exclusion and said it would admit the report with a caution to the jury; particular redactions remained unresolved.

About

The court said the report added information not supplied by other affidavits or interview reports and that admission was fair given its earlier indication that the report could address the deposition problem. Admission remained subject to redactions and a caution about reliability and weight.
