U.S. v. EDWARDS, (M.D.La. 2000)
FRANK POLOZOLA, Chief Judge, District
This matter is before the Court on defendants' motions for judgment of acquittal which were filed at the conclusion of all of the evidence and again after the jury's verdict as part of the defendants' motion for a new trial. The defendants have also filed a motion and amended motion for a new trial.
The defendants Gregory Tarver and Ecotry Fuller also filed a motion for judgment of acquittal at the close of all of the evidence. Since both defendants were acquitted, their motions are now moot.
