ARGUED FEBRUARY 25, 2011-

Before EASTERBROOK, Chief Judge, and FLAUM and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

Hurreon Walker and Rashad Logan were convicted of drug and gun charges after separate jury trials. Both defendants were sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment. They had plotted with two other men to rob a cocaine stash house at gunpoint, but the stash house did not actually exist, and their partners turned out to be an undercover agent and a paid informant. That informant, Jamie Ringswald, had targeted the defendants and generated the bulk of the evidence against them. He also played a significant role at their trials. Yet Ringswald was not called by prosecutors to testify, and instead the government introduced his story entirely through audio recordings and narrative from investigators. Prosecutors justified this approach with the explanation that none of Ringswald’s out-of-court statements was being offered for its truth. What’s more, the government persuaded the district court to prospectively curtail impeachment of Ringswald.
