Facts
Hernandez (D) was convicted of possession and distribution of cocaine. He was targeted for arrest by the DEA because he had been identified as a drug smuggler by U.S. Customs. When the agent who made the arrest testified, the prosecutor asked her how the DEA had heard of D, she stated that they had received a referral from Customs. The trial court admitted the testimony over D's objection. On appeal, the Government argued that the testimony was relevant to show the officer's state of mind.
