United States v. Dominguez, No. 07-13405 (11th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, a professional sports agent, was convicted of smuggling five Cuban baseball players into the United States, transporting the players from Miami to Los Angeles, and harboring them there until they applied for asylum. Defendant appealed his convictions and his five-year mandatory minimum sentence. The court held that the evidence did not support defendant's convictions of transporting and harboring aliens and therefore, reversed and vacated their sentences. The court held that the evidence supported defendant's convictions of conspiracy to smuggle, aiding and abetting an attempted smuggle, and aiding and abetting a smuggle and therefore, affirmed these convictions and sentences. The court found defendant's remaining assertions of error to be without merit.
