Description

The United States appeals the district courts judgment of acquittal notwithstanding the verdict in favor of Gordon Tornberg, a former Deputy United States Marshal, on two counts of allegedly accepting illegal gratuities in violation of 18 U.S.C. 201(g). The indictment originally charged Tornberg with four counts in violation of 18 U.S.C. 201(g). The district court granted Tornbergs pretrial motion to dismiss one count of illegally accepting a $700 check because it was barred by the statute of limitations. Another count of accepting a $300 cash payment was dismissed at the close of the governments case. Of the remaining two counts, the district court found that the prosecution failed to introduce sufficient evidence to support Tornbergs conviction. We agree and affirm.
