1Opinion of the Court
Affirmed by published opinion. Judge HARRIS wrote the opinion, in which Chief Judge TRAXLER and Judge MOTZ joined.
PAMELA HARRIS, Circuit Judge:
A jury convicted Wendy Annette Moore and Christopher Austin Latham of participating in a murder-for-hire plot targeting Latham’s estranged wife. In this consolidated appeal, Moore and Latham challenge their convictions, arguing that the district court constructively amended the indictment through erroneous jury instructions and improperly admitted hearsay and character evidence. We disagree, and affirm the convictions.
