United States v. Perez, No. 09-3516 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant and fellow gang members were tried for racketeering conspiracy. The others were convicted, but the court declared a mistrial as to defendant. When his retrial case was given to the jury, the government submitted a redacted indictment, removing allegations against former co-defendants. The Seventh Circuit affirmed his conviction, rejecting an argument that the redacted indictment violated the Grand Jury Clause of the Fifth Amendment. The redacted indictment did not broaden the possible bases for conviction nor did it remove any allegations needed for conviction.
