121427P.pdf   12/13/2012  United States  v.  Jovica Petrovic
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1427
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Smith and Colloton,
   Circuit Judges]
   Criminal Case - conviction and sentence. First Amendment as applied
   challenge to 18 U.S.C. sec. 2261A(2)(A) fails because harassing and
   distressing communications fell outside protection of First Amendment,
   as the speech was integral to criminal conduct. Facial challenge fails. 
   District court waived right to appeal denial of mistrial when he refused
   stipulation for a curative instruction, and any error was harmless. District
   court did not err in instructing jury that a "sexual relationship" was a
   "thing of value" under section 875(d). District court did not clearly err in
   applying obstruction of justice enhancement based on defendant's
   perjury. Convictions were supported by sufficient evidence.
