General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Braverman v. United States, 317 U.S. 49 (1942)
Braverman v. United States No. 43 Argued October 21, 1942 Decided November 9, 1942 * 317 U.S. 49
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. A conviction upon several counts of an indictment, each charging conspiracy to violate a different penal provision of the Internal Revenue laws, where the jury’s verdict is supported by evidence of but a single conspiracy to commit those offenses, will not sustain a sentence of more than two years’ imprisonment, the maximum penalty for a single violation of the conspiracy statute. P. 52.
2. The limitation applicable to a prosecution for violation of § 37 of the Criminal Code, where the object of the conspiracy is to evade or defeat the payment of a federal tax, is not the three-year period applicable generally to criminal offenses, but the six-year period specifically prescribed by § 3748(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. P. 54.
3. A contention of the petitioner that his plea of former jeopardy should have been sustained is not passed upon here, since the earlier indictment to which he pleaded guilty, and which he argues charged the same offense as that of which he was convicted in this case, is not a part of the record. P. 55.
125 F.2d 283 reversed.
Certiorari, 316 U.S. 653, to review the affirmance of sentences upon convictions of conspiracy.
