United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentence for bank fraud are affirmed over defendant's arguments that: 1) no proper verdict was ever returned by the jury; 2) the phrasing of the verdict form omitted, for each count, an element of the statutory offense; 3) there was insufficient evidence to support the conviction; 4) the forfeiture of property used to commit the fraud must occur in a civil proceeding; and 5) the sentence was improper.
