United States v. Davis, No. 12-1179 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted in the District of Massachusetts of aiding and abetting the making of a false claim against the United States in connection with his 2008 federal income tax return. Defendant appealed. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) the district court's aiding and abetting instruction was legally correct in that it accurately conveyed the appropriate legal elements; (2) the aiding and abetting instruction did not constructively amend the indictment in violation of the Fifth Amendment; and (3) the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to sustain Defendant's aiding and abetting conviction.
