Criminal Law : Wire Fraud – Money Laundering – Sufficiency Of Evidence
Stephanie Maniscalco//February 9, 2018
Where a defendant challenged his convictions for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, the judgment is affirmed because the government presented ample evidence of the defendant’s participation in the conspiracy, and the defendant did not show that the government’s questioning during its case in chief and comments during closing argument was improper vouching.
Judgment is affirmed.
