In a money laundering trial how do I get into evidence the fact that the Def., when entering the country, did not declare that he had a large quantity of money ($375,000)? Also, how do I get into evidence the fact that no financial institution in the USA generated a Currency Transaction Report for a money transaction of $10,000 or more regarding my Def.? Customs has informed me that neither of the above has happened, but I cannot think of a way to get it into evidnce. Wouldn't the Customs agent's testimony be hearsay?

Jim: Thanks. I am sure that will work.
