United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Shamah, 09-2767
Conviction of a former police officer for conspiracy in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and other offenses and a 232-month sentence are affirmed where: 1) defendant's RICO conviction is affirmed as the evidence was more than sufficient to show that he played a daily role in directing the affairs of the police department and the conspiracy between him and his co-conspirator was to rob drug dealers; and 2) district court properly applied the sentencing guidelines and enhancements, and the disparity in sentencing was not substantively unreasonable.
