Description

The defendants appeal from their convictions for mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. Â§ 1341 and making false statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. Â§ 1001. The proof at their trials showed that the defendants received benefits from the Illinois Department of Public Aid (IDPA) after having made false statements about their income from other sources, namely, employment with one of the federal or local government agencies in this area. All of the defendants received IDPA warrants, and some defendants also received authorizations to purchase food stamps. We shall describe the facts in detail as they become pertinent to our discussion of the issues. The defendants' allegations of error pertain to four subjects: the grand jury investigation, the legal sufficiency of the mail fraud indictments, the legal sufficiency of the false statements indictments, and prosecutorial misconduct. The defendants ask that we either suppress evidence against them or dismiss their indictments.
