7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Charlise Williams
Case No.: 17-2244
Officials: FLAUM, SYKES, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing Guidelines – Enhancement
Charlise Williams was charged in a five‐count indictment for bankruptcy fraud. After a week‐ long jury trial, she was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to a below‐Guidelines prison term of 46 months. On appeal, Williams argues that the district court erred by: (1) restricting her ability to cross‐examine witnesses in violation of the Confrontation Clause; and (2) applying certain Guidelines offense‐level enhancements based upon the total loss amount and number of victims. We affirm.
