7th Circuit: Judge Erred When Making Property Interest Ruling In Fraud Case

(March 30, 2018, 10:51 AM EDT) -- CHICAGO — A federal judge in Wisconsin erred when finding how much of a couple’s property the government could seek in restitution after the husband was sentenced for committing insurance fraud, a Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel ruled March 28, finding that the judge should have considered only the couple’s financial situation at the time the restitution judgment was entered rather than when the defendant was resentenced in April 2015 (United States of America v. John E. Henricks III, No. 17-2383, 7th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 7596)....
