FACT PATTERN:

Mr. Green is our client. He has been convicted of violating the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits the willful use of wire transfers to pay government officials in Canada $250,000 in exchange for the issuance of favorable decisions on export licenses.

The evidence against Mr. Green consists of recordings made by undercover FBI agents that allegedly show Mr. Green confirming the payment of the money. However, in the District Court, the issue of whether the recordings were material to Mr. Green's prosecution was ruled upon by the judge, not the jury.

Based on your understanding of the law in this matter, what would an appellate Court likely hold if Mr. Green decides to appeal his conviction?
