U.S. v. Davis (2d Cir. 1985)

Davis was convicted of 11 counts arising out of his involvement in a kickback scheme between his company, Frigitemp, and General Dynamics Corportation.  In appealing his conviction, Davis contended, inter alia, that records of his Swiss bank account were procured by the U.S. Government in contravention of the U.S.-Swiss Treaty on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters ("Treaty") and that their admission violated his right of confrontation.  In addition, Davis contended that the District Court had improperly obtained his bank records from the Cayman Islands branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia by way of a subpoena duces tecum.
