Firedoglake has what appears to be a good introduction to U.S. evidence law here, for those following the trial of Vice-President Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Mr. Libby faces charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements. The charges arose from investigations into to the press "outing" of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative.
It is alleged that Mr. Libby mislead the FBI and a grand jury about a leak that exposed Ms. Plame's undercover status with the agency.
Mr. Libby has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
