For the Tuesday Oral Argument at the United States Supreme Court there will be Live Updates Here . Good Luck to our friends, Tampa Appeal Attorney / Lawyer Ken Siegel and Steve Crawford.

As one blog put it:

"Issue: Whether a defendant can be convicted of murder under 18 U.S.C. § 1512(a)(1)(C), which is part of the federal witness-tampering statute, without proof that information regarding a possible federal crime would have been transferred from the victim to federal law enforcement officers or judges." The Scotus Blog then restated the question as follows:

"Plain English Issue: Whether, to prove a criminal violation of the federal witness tampering statute when a defendant allegedly kills a witness, the government must prove that the victim would have provided information regarding a crime to a court or law enforcement."
