United States v. Pennue, No. 13-2156 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of two counts of passing altered obligations of the United States with intent to defraud and one count of inducing the interstate transportation of currency with intent to defraud. The district court sentenced Defendant to a twenty-one-month term of immurement. Defendant appealed, challenging both his convictions and his sentence. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) an error in a jury instruction did not compromise the jury’s understanding of the reasonable doubt standard and therefore did not affect Defendant’s substantial rights; and (2) there was no sentencing error in this case.
