Campbell v. United States

Petitioner, Larry Campbell, was one of seven defendants charged in a five-count indictment with jury tampering in a prior criminal case involving one of those defendants, James R. Hoffa. Campbell was named only in that count of the indictment charging that he and co-defendants Parks and Hoffa attempted to influence petit juror Gratin Fields. Following a joint trial involving six of the seven defendants, Campbell was convicted and sentenced to three years imprisonment. We affirmed in United States v. Hoffa et al., 349 F.2d 20 (6th Cir. 1965), affd, 385 U.S. 293, 87 S. Ct. 408, 17 L. Ed. 2d 374 (1966). Campbell subsequently filed a motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. This appeal is from the denial of that motion.
