Does ‘common sense' allow us to deduce what the banks may or may not been influenced by in order to make a loan?
Judge Julie Robinson responded by admonishing the jurors to read all of the instructions.
The jury presented its' verdict on Thursday, February 11th. Defendants Miller, Rouse and Earnshaw, were all found not guilty on all counts. Defendant James Moser was found guilty of conspiracy and bank fraud on several counts and found not guilty on other counts.
