Key legal question
Whether the prescription objection concerning threats and coercion was admissible and well-founded
Extracted holding
The objection was inadmissible because the remittal judgment and the defendant's own request had already delimited the renewed proceedings; in any event, the offenses were not time-barred.
Extracted reasoning
The remittal decision definitively resolved the convictions except for usury, so the prescription issue was no longer within the scope of the appeal. The defendant failed to show arbitrariness or any other federal-law violation in that procedural handling.
