United States v. Kendrick, III, No. 11-12620 (11th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed following his conviction for alien smuggling for commercial gain. Defendant argued that the district court erred by: (1) denying his motion to dismiss the indictment based on vindictive prosecution; (2) failing to grant a judgment of acquittal based on insufficiency of the evidence; (3) granting the government's motion in limine precluding defendant from discussing the events of his prior trial beyond an excerpt of his own sworn testimony; and (4) denying defendant's motion in limine seeking to introduce portions of the prosecutor's closing argument from defendant's prior trial as an admission of a party opponent under Fed. R. Evid. 801(d)(2). After thorough review of defendant's claims, the court affirmed the judgment.
