View this case - free  

Overview: Convictions of bank fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud under 18 U.S.C.S. §§ 371 and 1344 were affirmed, as circumstantial evidence was sufficient for jury to conclude that defendant had requisite intent to defraud and was not merely duped by co-defendant, including testimony from defendant's former employees describing check kiting scheme.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's 150-month sentence following his conviction for his involvement in a drug conspiracy was improper because the federal district court improperly disregarded that defendant was a career offender and declined to impose the 18 U.S.C.S. § 4B1.1(a) enhancement; disagreement with Congress as to the appropriate sentence was a policy matter.

View this case - free  

Overview: The disparity between the 192-month sentence defendant received and the 55-month sentence his co-conspirator received under 21 U.S.C.S. § 846 was not unreasonable in light of the additional firearm charge against defendant, 18 U.S.C.S. § 924(c)(1)(A), and in light of defendant's more extensive criminal history.
