United States v. Morlang
''United States v. Morlang'', 531 F.2d 183 (4th Cir. 1975), was a case decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that held that calling a witness knowing that unfavorable testimony will be given is improper when it allows the proponent to bring in substantive evidence under the guise of witness impeachment.〔Mueller, Christoper, and Kirkpatrick, Laird. ''Evidence Under the Rules: Text, Cases, and Problems, Sixth Edition.'' Aspen Publishers, New York. 2008, p. 563.〕
==Factual background==
The defendant Morlang was on trial for a conspiracy to bribe the director of the Federal Housing Administration to approve the Hanna Drive development in Charleston, West Virginia. The prosecutor called Morlang's co-conspirator Wilmoth to the stand to testify that Morlang had admitted the scheme to him. Before trial, Wilmoth told the prosecutor that he would deny that Morlang made such an admission. During the trial, Wilmoth did deny hearing an admission from Morlang. The prosecutor called Crist, Wilmoth's cellmate, to testify that Wilmoth told him about an admission about the scheme from Morlang. Morland was convicted and appealed to the Fourth Circuit.〔''United States v. Morlang'', 531 F.2d 183, 185-86 (4th Cir. 1975)〕
