United States Eighth Circuit

Grant of defendant's motion for acquittal on one count of conspiracy and 81 counts of health care fraud is reversed as, viewing the evidence most favorably to the government, a reasonable jury could have found that defendant knowingly and wilfully executed a scheme to defraud a health care program, acting in a conspiracy with his brother, a physician at a clinic.
