Text: Following the trial, LaVictor moved for judgment of acquittal under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 and for a new trial under Rule 33.3 LaVictor argued in both motions that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions. He again raised previous evidentiary challenges. The trial court denied both motions and rejected any evidentiary objections. The district court sentenced LaVictor on May 11, 2015 to concurrent prison terms of 355 months on Counts One to Three, 120 months on Count Four, 60 months on Count Five, 240 months on Count Six, and 6 months on Count Seven. This timely appeal followed. 2 Prior to trial, LaVictor pleaded guilty to the contempt charge. 3 LaVictor had previously moved for judgment of acquittal at the close of the government’s case and renewed the motion at the close of all the evidence, which the district court denied.
