What evidence does the court have to consider in determining that a defendant conspired with his co-conspirators to create and file fraudulent documents?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Bayfield, 18-3765-cr (2nd Cir. 2019):
arranged for his coconspirators to create and file numerous fraudulent documents, all in furtherance of a scheme to mislead financial institutions and enrich himself. The False Deed evidence was thus probative as to knowledge and, at the same time, unlikely to "unfairly . . . excite emotions" and prejudice him in the eyes of the jury. See Old Chief v. United States, 519 U.S. 172, 180 (1997). We conclude that the district court properly exercised its discretion in admitting this evidence.
