How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- recognizing that suppression of evidence is a more appropriate remedy than dismissal of an indictment
- holding that even “finger-pointing and blame-shifting among cocon-spirators do not support a finding of mutually antagonistic defenses” necessitating a severance of trials
- observing that due- process claims premised on outrageous investigative techniques are only viable in the most extreme cases
- concluding defendant waived issue when he raised it for the first time at oral argument
- finding that the inclusion of the substitute asset provision evinces that the phrase “traceable to” should be interpreted to authorize forfeiture only of money linked to the underlying offense
- reasoning that the due process claim failed when record was devoid of evidence that the government “was or should have been aware of a personal attorney-client relationship”
