Eighth Circuit: United States v. Kenneth Borders

Conspiracy, Crim, Accomplice, FRE


Different theories of crime on special verdict do not necessarily indicate separate conspiracies.

Rental of unit and possession of key insufficient for accomplice liability where there was no proof that the deft knew the items stored there to be stolen.

 Admission of evidence about civil commercial violations was harmless error.

No abuse of discretion in limiting cross for cooperating witnesses.

Admission of earlier plea agreement as evidence of overt act wasn't double jeopardy.

Summary timeline did not violate FRE.

Sentencing correct on merits.
