He objected to the admission of Jamie Hicks’s testimony regarding her boyfriend Jeremy Allinson’s out-of-court statement incriminating Porter, complaining that the statement was not admissible under the coconspirator exception to the hearsay rule because the Government failed to present independent evidence of the existence of the conspiracy.
