The other challenged instruction told the jury to disregard
appellant Alonso’s testimony that he heard the prisoners
shouting “Spanish words that meant they were ready to
fight.” The district court interpreted this testimony to refer to
the phrase “puro sur trece,” a gang slogan that the court had
excluded from evidence in a pretrial order. The court did not
clearly err in finding that appellant Alonso was referring to
the excluded slogan in his testimony, and did not abuse its
discretion in giving the instruction.
