United States v. Carrasco, No. 21-1396 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's conviction and sentence for violating 18 U.S.C. 666, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
Defendant was indicted on four counts of violating section 666(a)(1)(B) stemming from his role in the allegedly corrupt awarding of contracts by certain Puerto Rico municipalities. After a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to 120 months of imprisonment and three years' supervised release. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support Defendant's convictions; (2) Defendant's two evidentiary challenges were unavailing; and (3) Defendant's 120-month prison sentence was neither procedurally nor substantively unreasonable.
