Description
Anthony J. Vesich, Jr. appeals from a judgment of conviction for corruptly endeavoring to influence, obstruct and impede the due administration of justice (18 U.S.C. § 1503) and for perjury before a grand jury (18 U.S.C. § 1623). Following a jury trial, Vesich was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment on the obstruction charge and eighteen months imprisonment, twelve of which were suspended, on the perjury charge. The obstruction charge was that on or about January 6, 1982, Vesich advised, urged and attempted to persuade a potential grand jury witness, Robert Fragale, to testify falsely before the United States Grand Jury for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The perjury charge was that during an October 21, 1982 grand jury appearance, Vesich falsely denied advising anyone to lie to a federal grand jury. Vesichs motion for judgment of acquittal was denied by the trial judge. United States v. Vesich, 558 F. Supp. 1192 (E.D.La.1983).
