United States First Circuit

In a prosecution for threatening a United States official stemming from remarks made over the phone to a court clerk's office, the conviction and sentence are appealed, where: 1) the evidence was sufficient to convict; 2) jury instructions concerning the word "intimidate" were not improper; and 3) the district court's conclusion that the defendant did not accept responsibility was not clearly erroneous, and thus its sentence, which did not apply a two-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility as requested, was appropriate.
