Christopher Filline v. United States

Whether a federal court must grant a motion for judgment of acquittal when, construing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government, evidence of guilt and innocence is evenly balanced.

Whether evidence that one person planned to commit an unlawful act, he asked others to commit acts that furthered that plan, and they did so in secrecy is sufficient to prove a conspiracy when the concealment of their actions had equally plausible explanations.
