var WPFootnote1 = 'Hon. David H. Souter, Associate Justice (Ret.) of the Supreme\
Court of the United States, sitting by designation.\
'

var WPFootnote2 = ' These recordings had both audio and video components.\
'

var WPFootnote3 = ' In particular, the appellant emphasizes Martínez\'s testimony\
that he purchased ten bags of crack from the appellant at some time\
between 2001 and 2005. When Martínez inquired about a bonus bag,\
the appellant replied that he did not give bonus bags because of\
the superior quality of his merchandise. This testimony, the\
appellant says, indicates that he was an independent contractor. \
'

var WPFootnote4 = ' In some cases, there may still be room for plain-error\
review. See Fed. R. Evid. 103(d); Jadusingh, 12 F.3d at 1166. \
Here, however, the reasons alluded to above make it pellucid that\
sustaining this objection was not on any level an abuse of\
discretion.\
'

var WPFootnote5 = ' It is common ground that jurors in the District of Puerto\
Rico normally are fluent in Spanish, and there is no question but\
that the jurors both saw and heard the appellant\'s outburst.\
'

var WPFootnote6 = ' The district court used a familiar three-part format in\
which the prosecutor initiates the closing arguments, defense\
counsel responds, and the prosecutor then rebuts. \
'

var WPFootnote7 = ' These exceptions center on situations involving supervening\
authority, such as "when the holding of a previous panel is\
contradicted by controlling authority, subsequently announced (say,\
a decision of the authoring court en banc, a Supreme Court opinion\
directly on point, or a legislative overruling)." Muskat v. United\
States, 554 F.3d 188, 189 (1st Cir. 2009).\
