Description
RALPH B. GUY, JR., Circuit Judge. Defendant, attorney Robert Zeman, appeals his conviction and sentence imposed for conspiracy to obstruct Justice. 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 1512(b)(1). A jury found that Zeman had conspired with his client, David Hockersmith, to corruptly prevent Hockersmith's employee, Glenn Hughes, from testifying against Hockersmith. On appeal, defendant alleges that (1) several erroneous evidentiary rulings resulted in an unfair trial; (2) the evidence was insufficient to convict; (3) the prosecutor impermissibly inflamed the jury during closing arguments; (4) the court erroneously instructed the Jury to disregard part of defendant's closing argument; (5) section 1512, as applied, contravened his rights under the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments; and (6) Zeman, at most a minimal participant in any criminal activity, is entitled to a reduction in his sentence under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. For reasons that follow, we affirm the conviction and sentence.
