United States First Circuit
US v. Tavares, 14-2313
Convictions for RICO violations stemming from a hiring scheme, where the Massachusetts Office of the Commissioner of Probation catered to hiring requests from members of the state legislature in exchange for favorable budget treatment, are reversed where the evidence is insufficient to support defendants' criminal convictions for the scheme. The Court ordered entry of judgments of acquittal.
