United States v. Harris, No. 16-17646 (11th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Defendant, in an effort to secure her brothers' acquittal from charges involving multiple murders, lied to law enforcement, encouraged a witness to provide false alibi testimony, and threatened individuals who might testify against her brothers. The court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence concerning one of the murders, a witness's testimony, a co-conspirator's statements, and a protective order entered in another drug and gun crimes case. Consequently, defendant's cumulative error argument failed.
