United States v. Gaw, No. 14-2242 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, an employee with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), was convicted of two counts of mail fraud and one count of conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by threats or violence. The convictions arose from a scheme to sell RMV licenses to automotive service station owners in order to perform state-mandated vehicle inspections. The First Circuit affirmed Defendant’s convictions, holding (1) the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; (2) the district court did not err by denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial; and (3) because there was no error in the district court’s rulings, Defendant’s argument that his convictions must be vacated pursuant to the doctrine of cumulative error cannot succeed.
