United States v. Rogers by United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Book Summary

ESCHBACH, District Judge. Defendants-appellants, along with a defendant, Jackson, subsequently acquitted, were charged in a twelve-count indictment with causing falsely made and forged securities (twelve money orders) to be transported in interstate commerce with fraudulent intent in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 2314. Rogers was charged in Counts I through XI, and Spotts was charged in Counts I through VI as well as in Counts VIII and XII (Jackson was named in Counts IX through XI). Following submission of all the evidence in a joint jury trial, the trial court directed a verdict for defendants on Counts IX through XII for failure of the Government as a matter of law to prove as to these counts interstate movement of the money orders. On the remaining counts, the jury found the defendants guilty as charged. Each defendant was sentenced to thirty months imprisonment on each such count, the sentences to be served concurrently. Both Spotts and Rogers appeal from their convictions, which appeals were separately briefed and argued. Since these appeals result from a common trial and in part raise common questions, we will dispose of them in a single opinion. We affirm the convictions of both appellants.
