US v. Szymuszkiewicz, 10-1347, concerned a challenge to the district court’s denial of a defendant’s motion for acquittal, in his prosecution under the Wiretap Act for intentionally intercepting his supervisor’s electronic communication.  In affirming the judgment, the court held that the district court properly rejected defendant’s attack on the sufficiency of the evidence as he had both motive and opportunity.  The court also held that the Wiretap Act’s definitions treat the acquisition of emails as an interception.
