Construction Violation?
The CEO of a real estate development company was convicted of violating the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. §85.]. In his appeal, he complained about a jury instruction: “You may find that the defendant acted knowingly if you find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant: [¶] 1. was aware of a high probability that there was asbestos in the ceilings at [] condominiums, and [¶] 2. deliberately avoided learning the truth.” The judgment of conviction was affirmed. United States of America v. Charles Yi (Ninth Cir.; January 2, 2013) (Case No. 11-50234).
