United States Fourth Circuit

Conviction and sentencing of defendant on four counts of aiding in the preparation of false tax returns, 26 U.S.C. section 7206(2), are upheld where: 1) the district court's admission into evidence of co-defendants' guilty pleas was not prejudicial error; 2) a positive assessment of the credibility of a key government witness was within the trial court's discretion; and 3) the evidence adduced at trial was legally sufficient to support conviction.
