Text: 15 Scott appeals both the trial court's final judgment and sentence. Specifically, Scott argues that: (1) the Government failed to provide sufficient evidence for the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that she committed the necessary elements of the crimes charged; (2) the district court erred in denying her motion for a two-level reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(a) based on her acceptance of responsibility for the crimes; (3) the trial judge erred in departing upward two levels because her conduct was not considered adequately by the Sentencing Commission in its formulation of U.S.S.G. § 3D1.2(b); and (4) the district court violated her Sixth Amendment right to confront the witness Alvarez, and this violation did not constitute harmless error.
