Third Circuit -- USA v. Amifa Knight

Admission of evidence as to underlying murder scheme in perjury prosecution was proper, as deft was charged with conspiracy to commit the murder.

No error in denial of motion for acquittal 85 days late.

No error in finding that first degree murder was a related offense for purposes of sentencing guidelines, since at the time of the perjury, deft knew of the murder.
