Areas of Law: Constitutional Law, Criminal Law
Defendant pleaded guilty
to being a felon in possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1),
reserving the right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress
evidence. The court held that the district court's findings were
supported by the evidence and its conclusion that defendant gave legally
effacious consent to the search was correct. The court also held that
the Florida robbery, both before and after Florida promulgated the
"robbery by sudden snatching" statute, qualified as a violent felony
under the Act.
