United States v. Peter Leslie and Roland Williams

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that a mere potential conflict of interest without a showing of prejudice to the defendant does not violate defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel
• noting, with reference to the Senate Report, that \Congress intended the term `transaction' to be interpreted broadly\
• reversing conviction on one of two counts of violating the federal money laundering statute because, as to that count only, there was no evidence of an effect on interstate commerce
• reversing conviction because government \did not provide even the slenderest of threads\ upon which to hang the interstate commerce jurisdictional element
• affirming the defendant’s conviction where the Govern- ment presented evidence of a bank’s federally-insured status only after the defendant moved for judgment of acquittal
• reaffirming trial court’s “wide discretion to allow the government to re-open its case to correct errors” and noting that courts generally will “allow reopening to establish venue, identify the defendant, or attend to other technical matters”
