United States v. McNeil
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
362 F.3d 570 (2004)
- Written by Sharon Feldman, JD
Facts
McNeil (defendant) was charged with a federal crime and requested that the court appoint counsel for him. On the financial affidavit he was required to submit to support his request for counsel, he omitted reference to some of his real estate and financial accounts, most of which were in fictitious names. McNeil was indicted for making false statements on the financial affidavit in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. McNeil was convicted and argued on appeal that because his statements were made in a judicial proceeding, they were exempt from prosecution under § 1001.
