Collins v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• introduc tion of co-conspirator wife’s taped statements did not-violate the privilege against adverse spousal testimony, “because Mrs. Mendoza did not testify at trial”
• a crime in which the husband and wife were jointly involved did not prevent admission of conversations between them relative thereto, notwithstanding the marital communications privilege
• “The penalties ... against bail jumping and forfeiture of bail as prescribed by Rule 46(e), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, are complementary, and the imposition of one sanction is not meant to preclude the imposition of the other.”
