United States v. Morrison

Defendants Gladstone and Jacqueline Morrison appeal their convictions for conspiring to submit fraudulent tax returns, aiding and abetting the filing of numerous false returns, and wire fraud in connection with the attempted sales of the business. The court concluded that the evidence supports all of Gladstone's wire fraud convictions; the district court did not commit reversible error in limiting Jacqueline's testimony; the instances of bias alleged by Jacqueline, alone or taken together, do not rise to the level at which recusal is required; and the court rejected Gladstone's challenges regarding the conduct of the trial judge. Finally, the court rejected Jacqueline's additional claims of error. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment. View "United States v. Morrison" on Justia Law
