What is the burden of proving that Defendant was guilty under the intangible rights theory?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Williams, 441 F.3d 716 (9th Cir. 2006):

Whether the prosecution fulfilled its burden to prove that Defendant was guilty under the intangible rights theory is a separate question, and one that we need not reach. "`[W]hen a jury returns a guilty verdict on an indictment charging several acts in the conjunctive . . ., the verdict stands if the evidence is sufficient with respect to any one of the acts charged.'" Griffin, 502 U.S. at 56-57, 112 S.Ct. 466 (alteration in original) (quoting Turner v. United States, 396 U.S. 398, 420, 90 S.Ct. 642, 24 L.Ed.2d 610 (1970)).
