United States v. Campbell, Jr., No. 12-11952 (11th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction and sentence for charges related to his involvement in the creation and successful execution of a scheme to defraud the State of Alabama of $7 million dollars. The court found no merit in defendant's challenges to his convictions because the evidence of guilt was overwhelming. The court also found no procedural or substantive error in defendant's sentence. The court concluded that the district court properly calculated the amount of loss caused by defendant's scheme under U.S.S.G. 2B1.1(b)(1) and found that the amount of loss caused by his fraud exceeded $2.5 million. The district court's method for estimating defendant's loss was appropriate under the circumstances, and the ultimate "answer" the district court reached was a reasonable estimate of the pecuniary harm defendant's scheme inflicted on the State of Alabama. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's judgment.
