Court upholds convictions of Ark. doctor's wife
A federal appeals court has upheld the conspiracy and aiding and abetting convictions of the wife of an Arkansas doctor who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in a 2009 bombing that nearly killed the head of the Arkansas State Medical Board.
The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday there was enough evidence to support Sangeeta Mann's convictions of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding and aiding and abetting evidence tampering.
Mann is married to Randeep Mann, whose lawyers are also challenging his convictions.
She filed for divorce last year, but one of her lawyers, Jeff Rosenzweig, says she's still married.
She was sentenced to a year in prison, but she has remained free pending appeals. Rosenzweig says they plan to ask for a rehearing.
