Eighth Circuit -- United States v. Michael Wesley

United States  v.  Michael Wesley

No abuse of discretion in admitting a gun that might have been used in the robbery.

Introduction of unexplained wealth was error, as it likely came from a crime not in the indictment, but no error given weight of evidence.

No procedural or substantive errors in sentence.
Compiled by D.E. Frydrychowski, who is, not incidentally, not giving you legal advice.
