View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: District court did not err in exceeding the USSG maximum in sentencing defendant after a wire fraud conviction.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g) motion for return of seized property was properly denied as premature because the government showed a need to retain the items as evidence, given that camera equipment used in committing the crime and contact information for minors were obviously related to the underlying case for sexual exploitation of children.
