United States v. Pursley, No. 20-20454 (5th Cir. 2022)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit vacated defendant's conviction for charges stemming from his involvement in a significant tax fraud scheme. The scheme involved the use of several offshore accounts, including certain accounts in the Isle of Man. Defendant appeals both the denial of the motions to dismiss and the denial of his requested jury instruction. The court concluded that defendant was entitled to have the district court fully consider his statute of limitations defense, to have the district court calculate the exact time the statute of limitations ran under existing precedent, to dismissal of any charge that was untimely under that calculation, and to a jury instruction on the statute of limitations defense.
