Mealey's (February 4, 2019, 12:07 PM EST) -- ATLANTA — An 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Feb. 1 affirmed a federal judge in Georgia’s denial of a man’s motion for acquittal after he was found guilty of conspiracy to commit arson, holding that the government presented sufficient evidence to show that he engaged in a pattern with his co-defendants of purchasing properties, obtaining insurance and then setting the houses on fire (United States v. Elbert Walker Jr., No. 16-13642, 11th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 3328)....
