A longtime business associate of Joe Biden’s son will be sentenced for his role in a fraudulent scheme after an appeals court restored a jury conviction that was overturned by a federal judge.
“Because the weight of the evidence presented at trial did not preponderate heavily against the jury’s verdict, we find that the district court abused its discretion in vacating the judgment and granting a new trial,” a three-judge panel for the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit said in its 42-page ruling.
