211335P.pdf   06/21/2022  United States  v.  Cody Leveke
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1335
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Wollman, 
   Circuit Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendant's convictions for interstate communication of a threat because 
   the government showed he made true threats of present or future violence, 
   that he intended to communication a threat, and that his statements were 
   not ambiguous or political hyperbole; the jury instructions properly 
   defined a true threat and the instructions, taken as a whole, sufficiently 
   articulated the elements of the charges; the indictment properly pleaded 
   the essential elements of a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 875(c); 
   COVID-related delays in setting the matter for trial did not violate the 
   Speedy Trial Act or defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial.
