Text: 12 Count Three of the indictment charged that Fozo made a false declaration to the grand jury when he denied that anything was said or any plans were made during the October 25 meeting about how to keep the black family out of the neighborhood. The jury found him guilty of this count and Fozo now argues the evidence was insufficient to support this verdict. We disagree and affirm his conviction. 13 The testimony of Scott was sufficient to support the jury's verdict. Scott testified that the purpose of the discussion about burning the house was to keep the black family from purchasing the residence and that there was no doubt in Scott's mind that the four men wanted to keep the black family out of the neighborhood. Scott testified that he, Fozo and Thomas agreed to meet at Thomas' garage at 1:00 a.m. in preparation for trashing the inside of the house being sold to the black family. This testimony is sufficient evidence to support the verdict. Fozo challenges the credibility of Scott. However, credibility determinations are for the jury. United States v. Keplinger, 776 F.2d 678, 684 (7th Cir.1985), cert. denied, 476 U.S. 1183, 106 S.Ct. 2919, 91 L.Ed.2d 548 (1986). Fozo has not satisfied his burden.
