United States Seventh Circuit

In a prosecution of defendant under the Wiretap Act for intentionally intercepting his supervisor's electronic communication, district court's denial of his motion for acquittal is affirmed where: 1) the district court properly rejected defendant's attack on the sufficiency of the evidence as he had both motive and opportunity; and 2) the Wiretap Act's definitions treat the acquisition of emails as an interception.
