“not admissible on the issue of guilt in a judicial criminal proceeding.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We need not further pursue whether under the statutes the information properly may be used for impeachment purposes. However, we do have concerns that the congressional intent as expressed in the confidentiality requirement may be transgressed when the government uses information obtained during the pretrial services interview for purposes unrelated to pretrial detention or release.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he question is whether impeaching a witness constitutes admission of evidence on the “issue of guilt” as intended by Congress. It does not. Impeachment evidence addresses credibility and is distinct from substantive guilt evidence. Therefore, under a plain reading of the statute, the government can use pretrial services interview statements to impeach a defendant.”
