Before LYNCH, Chief Judge, LIPEZ and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.


THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.

A nine-month long stand-off between United States Marshals (the "Marshals") and husband and wife team, Edward and Elaine Brown, resulted in the Browns' criminal convictions. Edward and Elaine1 each appealed and we consolidated. Both claim that the district court committed a myriad of errors justifying reversal. After careful consideration, we reject each argument and affirm.
