U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-2124
and No: 05-2126
District of Nebraska
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Heaney and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. No reversible error in
district court's instructions concerning the crime of conspiracy; evidence
was sufficient to support conspiracy conviction; evidence at trial did not
vary from the conspiracy charged in the indictment; district court erred in
not considering whether to impose an obstruction of justice enhancement,
as the court may not refuse to consider enhancements solely on the
ground they were not found by a jury; case remanded to permit the court
to make a factual inquiry and analysis as to whether defendant obstructed
justice by perjuring himself.
