United States v. DeMuro, No. 11-1887 (3d Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Defendants owned an engineering and surveying company. Between 2002 and 2008, it failed to pay the IRS more than $500,000 in taxes withheld from employee paychecks. They were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States, 18 U.S.C. 371, and 21 counts of failure to account and pay over employment taxes, 26 U.S.C. 7202. The Third Circuit affirmed the convictions, rejecting claims of evidentiary errors, but remanded for resentencing. The district court erred in imposing a two-level increase to the offense levels for abuse of a position of trust, pursuant to U.S.S.G. 3B1.3.
