UNITED STATES V. STEPHENS
779 F.2d 232 (5th Cir. 1985)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a case involving false information on a loan document and
mail fraud.
FACTS: Stephens (D) was charged with falsifying a loan application under 18 U.S.C.
Section 1014 and five counts of mail fraud under 18 U.S.C. Section 1341. During trial, the
government used a number of summary exhibits called charts to summarize the evidence
presented and trial and allowed those charts to be taken into the jury room. A chart was
used for each mail fraud count and a sixth was used to display what had happened to the loan
proceeds. D objected but the trial court overruled that objection. D was convicted and
appealed.
