Description
Johnny Lee Sanders, defendant-appellant herein, was convicted in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma of violating 18 U.S.C. §Â§ 922(g)(1), 1952(a)(3), 1956(a)(1)(B)(i), 1962(c), 1962(d) and 21 U.S.C. §Â§ 841(a)(1), 843(b), 846 and 848. Defendant-appellant Sanders raises three contentions of error in this appeal. First, Sanders contends that cumulative evidentiary errors by the trial court (including evidence of uncharged crimes and an improper instruction) adversely affected his right to a fair trial. Second, Sanders challenges his convictions on racketeering charges on the ground that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to establish the existence of a racketeering "enterprise." Third, defendant contends that his convictions for money laundering should be reversed because the government presented insufficient evidence of concealment or disguise in the two car purchase transactions upon which defendants convictions were based. For the reasons stated below, we conclude that defendants convictions under the money laundering statute should be reversed; we will, however, affirm the district court as to the remainder of the issues presented in this appeal.
