Description

Submitted: February 12, 2003 Deon Love was convicted of a federal firearm violation and was sentenced to 120 months' incarceration. He argues that his Sixth Amendment right of confrontation was violated when the district court impermissibly restricted his cross-examination of three government witnesses– William Craig Thomas, Tommy Cummings, and Chris Davis. More specifically, Love urges that the district court's limit on his examination of Thomas is of""particular significance."" We agree.2 The district court's constraints on Love's cross-examination of Thomas–a crucial adverse witness–violated the Confrontation Clause of the United States Constitution. Accordingly, we reverse Love's conviction and remand for new trial. I. Background On January 23, 2002, a two-count indictment was returned charging Love with being a felon and drug user in possession of a firearm and selling a stolen firearm.3 After trial, on May 21, 2002, a jury acquitted Love on the selling charge, but concluded that he was guilty of illegally possessing a firearm.
