United States v. Man

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction and sentence for conspiracy to export defense articles without a license or written approval in violation of the Arms Control Export Act, 22 U.S.C. 2778. The court held that sufficient evidence established that defendant conspired willfully to violate the Act and that the evidence entitled the jury to reject defendant's defense of entrapment; the district court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted evidence of the conspirators' communications; defendant's 50 month sentence was procedurally and substantively reasonable; and no plain error occurred when the government failed to disclose an email referenced in a conversation between defendant and an undercover agent.
