Shields v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• stating “the rule of statutory construction that one provision should not be interpreted in a way ... that renders other provisions of the same statute inconsistent or meaningless”
• two offsite components not considered separately from refinery in determining applicable construction date because all were designed and constructed as single unit and together they functionally formed single property
• jury “can convict on the basis of other incriminatory evi-dence_”
