brief case of united states v. liebo, united states court of appeals, eight circuit, 1991,923 F.2d 1308

Expert Solution

In this case Richard Liebo is appealing for being convicted for violating the bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He is appealing in the United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit and his appeal is based on the premise of insufficient evidence and because of the error on the part of district court in instructing the jury. Liebo also states that there was an abuse of discretion by the district court as it denied Liebo’s motion for a new trial based on new evidence that was discovered.

The United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit held that sufficient evidence existed and this will sustain the convictions. It also held that there was no error on the part of district court in instructing the jury. It, however, reversed the district court’s denial of Liebo’s motion for a new trial. As such a new trial was remanded by the United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
