Pursuаnt tо а vаlid cоurt оrder, the FBI installed a wiretap on a telephone in a warehouse which they suspected was being used to store stolen property. The FBI recorded over fifty hours of conversation between the owner of the warehouse and another man who was referred to only as “Slick.” During the course of the conversation, the warehouse owner mentioned a number of stolen items and Slick made offers to purchase them. Other evidence led the FBI to believe that “Slick” was actually Sam Gordon, a known criminal who sold stolen goods over the internet. The FBI agents running the wiretap called in Special Agent Donovan, who had used Gordon as an informant numerous times and was familiar with his voice. Donovan confirmed that the voice of Slick on the tape belonged to Sam Gordon. Gordon was ultimately arrested and charged with receiving stolen property. At trial, the prosecutor seeks to play some portions of the tape to the jury. The prosecutor intends on authenticating the tape by calling Special Agent Donovan to testify that the voice of the man called Slick belongs to Sam Gordon. Gordon will testify that the voice on the tape does not belong to him. Should the tape be admitted into evidence?
