ORDER
JOSEPH F. ANDERSON, Jr., District Judge.
This matter is before the court upon motion of the defendant for judgment of acquittal. The defendant was tried by a jury on June 11-12, 2012, and found guilty on Counts 1 and 6. He was acquitted on Count 5.
The motion is grounded upon the assertion that the evidence presented by the government was not sufficient to sustain a verdict.
Having presided over the trial and having heard the testimony against the defendant, which included a statement he made pursuant to a proffer, testimony of co-defendants who pled guilty under a plea agreement, and related witnesses, the court finds that there was sufficient evidence presented at this trial that could support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt by a properly charged jury. Accordingly, the motion is respectfully denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
