United States v. Carnagie

*1234TACHA, Circuit Judge.

Following a jury trial, Defendants-Ap-pellees Linda Carnagie and Stafford Hi-laire were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the United States, see 18 U.S.C. § 371, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, see 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(l)(A)(i), (h). The district court granted the defendants’ motion for judgment of acquittal, holding that the evidence adduced at trial failed to prove the conspiracies as charged and, instead, proved a number of smaller, separate conspiracies. The government appeals. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and REVERSE and REMAND.
