United States First Circuit

Conviction of Bosnian citizen-defendant for two counts of making false statements in his applications for refugee status and permanent residency in the U.S. is affirmed over claims of error that: 1) the district court should have granted defendant's motion to suppress statements made during an interview with government agents because those statements were secured in violation of his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights; and 2) the court should have granted his motion for judgment of acquittal because the evidence was insufficient to support a finding of falsity in his two statements.
