(2) Challenges by Craig, Long, and Leavins We likewise reject Craig, Long, and Leavins’s argument that the district court abused its discretion by excluding evidence of ruses used by the FBI and LASD. 14 First, the district court properly prevented the Joint Appellants from questioning FBI agents about their use of ruses on the grounds that it was irrelevant, would waste time, and would confuse the jury.
