UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. RONALD ANTHONY BEASLEY, II

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Ronald Beasley's conviction for health-care fraud and conspiracy, rejecting his claims regarding newly discovered evidence and evidentiary rulings. The court held that the district court properly admitted evidence of uncharged theft as intrinsic evidence and did not err in denying a new trial or failing to hold an in-camera hearing on a witness's Fifth Amendment invocation.
