Does the meaning of "made and agreed to make payments" in a civil case apply to a charge of making and agreeing to give anything of value?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. McAllister, 141 F.3d 1181 (9th Cir. 1998):
Although "made and agreed to make payments" is not identical in meaning to "gives" or "agrees to give anything of value," the former is a subset of the latter. Accordingly, we hold that the indictment "contains the elements of the offense charged and fairly informs a defendant of the charge against which he must defend." United States v. Henson, 123 F.3d 1226, 1235 (9th Cir.1997) (citation and quotation omitted).
