Ind. Decisions – 7th Circuit decides one Indiana case today, a reversal
In U.S. v. Haitham Mohamed (SD Ind., Barker), a 25-page opinion, Judge St. Eve (Amy J. St. Eve, District Judge for the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, sitting by designation) writes:
On March 26, 2013, a jury convict-ed Haitham Mohamed of one count of knowingly transport-ing and possessing contraband cigarettes in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2342(a). Mr. Mohamed appeals his conviction, claiming that the district court erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29. For the reasons set forth in the following opinion, we agree and reverse the district court’s decision. * * *
