Description
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 3731, the United States appeals from the district courts dismissal of a criminal indictment charging the defendant Schaffner with obstructing the administration of justice, 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 1503, by hiding a witness whose testimony would have been unfavorable to his client. The district court held that the government was obliged to prosecute the defendant under 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 1501 ("Assault on process server") rather than under the omnibus clause of 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 1503 because Γ§ 1501 more specifically fit the facts alleged in the indictment. We reverse.
