Seven people were convicted of mail fraud and conspiracy related to false insurance claims. They appealed based on several issues, but the court found no error. The relevant facts include the authentication of insurance company records, the admissibility of a disability statement, and the admissibility of FBI agent summaries of records. The defendants also objected to the court’s restriction of cross-examination and raised concerns about sentencing compared to those who entered into plea bargains.
