United States of Amercia v. Olson

WRIGHT, Circuit Judge Milton Donovan Olson (Don Olson) and his son Bryan Olson became codefendants after their indictment for multiple counts of mail fraud. Father was convicted as a principal, under 18 U.S.C. § 1341. Son was convicted of aiding and abetting his father in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2. Both appeal. Don Olson attacks the quality of his representation at trial, arguing that it violated his sixth amendment right to counsel. He further contends that the indictment was amended at trial, permitting him to be convicted on a theory not charged. Bryan Olson argues only that the evidence was insufficient to establish his specific intent to defraud.
