Key legal question
Whether the acquittal on qualified money laundering should be overturned
Extracted holding
No. The appeal was dismissed; the money-laundering acquittal stood.
Extracted reasoning
The alleged acts were in any event time-barred because the conduct did not meet the requirements for the qualified form relied on by the prosecution. The court also upheld the lower court's view that the charged transactions did not warrant a conviction on the record before it.
