 People v Katt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
During the hearing, Bowman testified that she had visited DD at his elementary school after the FIA received an anonymous report that the children's mother was physically abusing them.
The prosecution conceded that DD's statement to Bowman was not admissible under the tender-years exception to the hearsay rule, MRE 803A, because it was his second statement about the abuse.
Having found that DD's statement met the first three requirements of MRE 803(24), the court concluded that admission would not endanger the interests of justice and ruled the statement admissible.

 Descriptions of various gun court cases (u-z)
Bill Fleming arranged two separate transactions, one where machine guns and DD's were transferred from a Texas seller to the Seminole, OK police department, as well as a second where he transferred guns and silencers through the Creek County DA's office in Oklahoma, and then from those agencies to the true purchasers.
The court decides that the law no longer requires self incrimination as a condition of complying with the law, and that the only way for the defendants to comply with the law was to not take possession of the bombs, that was the only crime, not failing to register.
