1Opinion of the Court
INGRAHAM, Circuit Judge:
George Michael McClure sold an ounce of heroin on each of two occasions to Agent Rhuben McGee of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He was convicted by a jury in the Middle District of Florida for two violations of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). 1 He argues on appeal that (1) testimony by other persons that DEA informant Brian Carroll had intimidated them into selling heroin should have been admitted, and (2) the use of a contingent fee informant is sufficiently repugnant to violate due process. We reverse on the first point of error.
