7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Enkhchimeg Ulziibayar “Eni” Edwards
Case No.: 16-2253
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and MANION and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges
Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence
Edwards has appealed her convictions, raising three issues. She argues that the witness tampering statute, § 1512(b)(3), is void for vagueness. She also argues that the evidence was insufficient to support any of the four counts of conviction. We reject both of these arguments and affirm Edwards’s false statement convictions, Counts III and IV.
To summarize, then, we AFFIRM Edwards’s convictions under Counts III and IV but VACATE Edwards’s sentence on those counts and REMAND for resentencing. We VACATE Edwards’s convictions and sentences under Counts I and II and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Affirmed in part. Vacated and Remanded in part.
