073760P.pdf   12/24/2008  United States  v.  Cheryl Moten
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3760
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Ebel and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. While the statements defendant gave at a termination hearing investigating misappropriation of funds were compelled, the district court did not err in finding, after a Kastigar hearing, that the information obtained by the FBI was derived from independent sources and that no testimony by the government's witnesses was tainted by defendant's compelled statements; no error in imposing a two-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.3 for abuse of a position of trust; no error in making defendant jointly and severally liable with her co-defendants for repayment of the misappropriated funds, as she was personally responsible for the state's loss, whether or not she personally benefitted from the misappropriations.
