United States Ninth Circuit

The Court affirmed defendant's conviction for intentional interference with a government employee because defendant warned a suspect of his possible arrest; the court reasoned that, even though there was not direct evidence of what defendant said to the suspect, reasonable inferences can be drawn from the facts of the case to provide sufficient evidence.
