United States v. Alphonso I. Waters, Jr. (11th Cir. September 2019)
Circuit Court Opinions, Eleventh Circuit, Fraud Cases, Jury Instructions
|The Court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for wire fraud, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting proposed jury instructions that distinguished a “scheme to defraud” from a “scheme to deceive,” since the proposed instructions did not also include language defining an intent to harm based on a misrepresentation of the nature of the bargain.
