U.S. v. Sheffler

Defendant was found guilty of multiple charges, including conspiracy to deprive civil rights, deprivation of civil rights, and obstruction, for his actions as a correctional officer which ultimately led to the death of an inmate and defendant appealed the conviction. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that sufficient evidence supported the convictions and that, despite defendant’s arguments to the contrary, the district court and prosecutor did not commit any reversible errors during trial. (ROVNER and LEE, concurring)
