Before EASTERBROOK, KANNE, and DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judges.


DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge.

A jury found Vernon Bonner guilty of four counts of mail fraud and one count of theft of government funds, after he swindled a widow out of her spousal and dependent Veterans Administration (VA) benefit payments. The court denied his motion for a new trial. On this direct appeal, Bonner contends that the district court committed several errors in the handling of testimony at trial. Finding no error, we affirm his conviction.
