UNITED STATES V. DECASTRIS 798 F.2d 261 (7th Cir. 1986) CASE BRIEF

UNITED STATES V. DECASTRIS

798 F.2d 261 (7th Cir. 1986)

NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of mail fraud.

FACTS: DeCastris (D) was a Chicago police officer who worked two jobs. His other job was with Zenith Electronics wherein he managed their full time nationwide trucking operation. Zenith learned of D's other job and demanded that he quit one or the other. D left the police job with disability benefits. The police did not learn of the Zenith job until D had collected 27 months of benefits. The contention is that D committed mail fraud by failing to disclose his employment earnings at Zenith. However, the applications for the disability only talked about jobs that were resumed and not continued. D was tried and convicted and appealed.
