UNITED STATES V. FELIX-JEREZ
667 F.2d 1297 (9th Cir. 1982)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of prison escape.
FACTS: D was convicted to 90 days for having entered the U.S. illegally. During that
incarceration in a minimum-security prison, D was found to have simply left without
permission. D was later picked up, returned, and then subjected to interrogation. However,
the interrogator did not know Spanish and employed the services of a bilingual guard,
Tolavera. The interrogator made notes of his interrogation and immediately thereafter typed
those notes. During trial, those notes were admitted into evidence without any attempt by
the Government to ask the interrogator if he had an independent recollection of them. D
objected, the notes were admitted, and D was convicted and appealed.
