Criminal Law: Wire Fraud-Sufficiency of Evidence
Staff Report//May 13, 2019
Where a defendant challenged her convictions for wire fraud, money laundering and tax evasion, the judgment is affirmed because the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions, and the defendant did not show that the district court erred in refusing to sever a false-statements charge, in admitting IRS agent statements or in the indictment or jury instructions.
Judgment is affirmed.
