United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's convictions for submitting false Medicaid claims in the names of children for whom he did not provide treatment are affirmed where: 1) the jury could have reasonably concluded that defendant's withdrawals were intended, at least in part, to conceal the location of the funds; 2) the interrogatories rendered harmless any error that may have existed with the jury instructions; and 3) the district court’s decision to run the sentences consecutively was reasonable.
