   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2864
                          and No:  22-2865
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Grasz and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendants' convictions for conspiracy and health care fraud; the district 
   court made no specific ruling preventing defendant's from presenting 
   certain expert testimony, and their failure to obtain such a ruling meant 
   the issue was waived; in any event, the proposed evidence had the 
   potential to mislead the jury and it would have been proper to exclude it; 
   the district court did not err in striking a sentence from defendants' 
   proposed theory-of-defense instruction as it would have misled the jury; 
   the court permitted defendants to make their arguments regarding the 
   medication in question but did not err in prohibiting arguments that 
   misrepresented the evidence or the law; no error in refusing defendants' 
   advice-of-counsel instruction as they had not provided their attorney with 
   all material facts before seeking advice.
