United States v. Robertson, No. 12-10046 (11th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction of two counts of murder in aid of racketeering. The court concluded that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment where the district court found certain testimony, that there was no oral immunity deal, to be more credible than defendant's testimony; the district court did not clearly err in sustaining the government's Batson challenge to defendant's motion to strike a potential juror; and the district court properly denied defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal because the government produced sufficient evidence to support the jury's reasonable finding that defendant murdered the victims for the purpose of maintaining or increasing his position in a local white supremacist group. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
