Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The purpose of the court's decision in Yates v. U.S. was to interpret a statute, specifically the provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that criminalized the destruction of "any record, document, or tangible object" with the intent to obstruct an investigation or proceeding. The court had to determine whether the provision applied to the destruction of fish, which Yates had allegedly done to avoid an investigation into the size of his catch.
