U.S. v. GRANADOS

No. 97-1900.

142 F.3d 1016 (1998)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Gilberto Lopez GRANADOS, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided April 24, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Brian P. Netols, Brian R. Havey (argued), Office of the United States Attorney, Criminal Division, Chicago, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Steven Shobat (argued), Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before POSNER, Chief Judge, and EASTERBROOK and KANNE, Circuit Judges.

KANNE, Circuit Judge.

Gilberto Lopez Granados appeals his conviction for conspiracy and attempt to commit extortion in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a). He argues that the evidence was insufficient to convict him, and that certain comments made by the prosecutor during closing argument and the judge's erroneous oral charge to the jury deprived him of a fair trial. Because we find these arguments unpersuasive, we affirm Granados's conviction.
