U.S. v. Schaltenbrand, 930 F.2d 1554 (11th Cir. 1991)

May 13, 1991

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the definition of "negotiation" under 18 U.S.C. § 208(a) and "agent" under 18 U.S.C. § 207(a). The Court held that "negotiation" covered communications where both parties had an active interest and that there was insufficient evidence to prove that defendant acted as an “agent.”
