The following excerpt is from United States v. Boruch, No. 12-3784-cr (2nd Cir. 2013):
1. No different conclusion is warranted because Boruch was acquitted of conspiracy to commit money laundering. See United States v. Acosta, 17 F.3d 538, 545 (2d Cir. 1994) ("The review of the legal sufficiency of the evidence with respect to one count should be independent of the jury's determination that the evidence on another count was insufficient to meet the government's burden of persuasion.").
