- Porfilio Circuit Judge. UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Sonya Evette SINGLETON, Defendant-Appellant. United States Court of Appeals. Tenth Circuit (en banc) No. 97-3178, Jan. 8, 1999 - "Ms. Singleton takes the position that when Mr. Douglas testified after receiving the government's promise of lenient treatment in exchange for his truthful testimony, he became a 'paid 'occurrence' witness,' and testimony from those of such ilk is contrary to the fundamental precepts of American justice because the payment of something of value would give the witness a strong motivation to lie."
