    Case law:

    peculiarly within his knowledge and he fails without excuse to testify, that his testimony, if
    introduced, would be adverse to his interests." Meier v CIR, 199 F 2d 392, 396 (8th Cir. 1952)
    quoting 20 Am Jur, Evidence Sec 190, page 193.

    necessary to make the Prima Facie Case."

    "Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak, or where

    shocking behavior... This sort of deception will not be tolerated and if this is routine it should be
    corrected immediately." U.S. v. Tweel, 550 F.2d 297, 299. See also U.S. v. Prudden, 424 F.2d

    "Fraud in its elementary common law sense of deceit… includes the deliberate concealment of

    fraud." McNally v. U.S., 483 U.S. 350, 371-372, Quoting U.S. v Holzer, 816 F.2d. 304, 307.

    that the drugs were present in the home for no more than a few hours; and there was no evidence
