RICO Indictments and the Importance of Distinguishing Between a "Person" and an "Enterprise"

           In the case of United States of America versus Goldin Industries, Inc., the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a RICO conviction because the indictment failed to distinguish between a "person" and an "enterprise."

          An article that I posted on my website, Federal Criminal Lawyer:  Frequently Asked Questions, examines this case and why the appellate court thought it so important to make this distinction.
